National Tree Day 27/7/08

Jeff Darby · 12th July 2008, 12:31 AM

Hi Folks,
I was wondering who's is going to get involved in National Tree Day? I am, I'm not sure if I should go with an exzisting site or try to organise my own.

I feel this is a good oportunity to help our local comunities replentish their Tree's. You can plant natives,shrubs and grasses.

So get active,Plant some tree's on National Tree Day 27/7/08

For anyone who does want to get envolved contact your local/regional greening Australia group, your local council and ask what events are going on in your neck of the woods....you'll be surprised by the amount of things that are happening...also try your LGA parks and gardens, landcare, and your local ASGAP.

Hi Folks,
John and myself went to our local National Tree Day site here in Blacktown NSW This mourning and here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

And here's Jeremy instructing the ladies what to do.And signing in for the morning.

Here's some of the tree's that were planted on the Day

And the good folk of The lions club Riverstone who cooked us lunch for free,Thank you.

more of the good work,

In all around 2000 trees of mixed Genera were planted on this site. A great effort to all that helped.

All The Best

National Tree Day Revisited 2/8/09,

Well here we are twelve months on from my first National Tree Day, Today I went back to plant more trees and to have a look at the progress of the trees we all planted last year.

Here are all the volunteers hard at work.

If you look down the hill you can see the good progress the saplings from last year have made.

Eric Frei · 2nd August 2009, 08:50 PM

Those sapplings did OK then, some-one water these trees or what?

Jeff Darby · 2nd August 2009, 08:58 PM

I think the City looks after them, watering..etc..etc.

As good as they appear to be, they could have been better, vandilised failure to take. But overall good...

Dont just stop @ National Tree Day. Check out local councils and friends groups, they are always doing planting days. Especially council bush crews, they just love sitting back and watching you plant stuff for them, but they actually take proper care of them.

Here we are 3 years on and 99% of all trees planted are doing quite well, here are some photo's for you all to see and comment on, and maybe get involved in planting some trees for our future...

Here is the difference between staged plantings...

The view from up the hill behind the planting site...

The effort that has been used in planting all these young trees has been well invested, these trees will flourish for years to come. Congratulations to all involved...

Wow, what growth for 3 years!

Stick that into some tree huggers pipe and tell'm to suck on it.
