Narrandera Landcare Group (NLG) was celebrating its 20th Anniversary. The question was how to celebrate it in a significant way.
The Group was provided with a grant to hold a National Tree Day/20th Anniversary tree planting event with the objective ‘to get the local community to engage with the environment, take interest in it, then actively care for it’. Additional aims of the planting were to provide a ground layer of plants that would provide a handy seedbank for propagating endemic species to reduce the cost of future plantings and to increase biodiversity in the area.
