Tree planting in endangered bushland
Gosford Council is expected to host a National Tree Day event at the Umina Coastal Sandplain Woodland near Umina Oval on Sunday, August 1.
Volunteers from the community will join council staff in tree planting activities as part of the bushland management plan created for the site in preparation for the Peninsula Recreation Precinct.
Participants will meet at 10am and assist in the regeneration of the Endangered Ecological Community until 2pm.
The Umina Recreation Area is bounded to the west by Ettalong Creek and to the north by Umina Oval.
Volunteers are asked to wear appropriate clothing (hat, covered shoes, long sleeved shirt and long pants recommended).
Parking is available in the carpark adjacent to the caravan park.
Gloves, tools and equipment for planting, watering cans, buckets, drinking water, refreshments and a barbecue lunch will be provided on the day.
To RSVP to the event, contact Tracey Persiani on 4304 4378.
