George Town Big Plant Day
Join us and the Tamar NRM team for an exciting project as we take a significant step towards environmental restoration! The old George Town landfill site has been closed for many years, and we are excited to work with Tamar NRM to transform this site through a revegetation project.
In celebration of National Tree Day on July 28th, we invite the community to join the team from Tamar NRM in this initiative. Together, we will plant 3,800 native trees, shrubs, herbs, and grass species endemic to the local area. This project is about restoring the greenery and natural habitat for local wildlife, improving air quality, and creating a beautiful, sustainable space for future generations to enjoy.
Over the past years, the community's green waste collection has been transported from the waste transfer station, mulched, and used to cover and prepare the soil for this rehabilitation effort. This means that the green waste from our backyards is now being repurposed to aid in restoring the old landfill site. Our communities’ contributions have played a vital role in making this project possible.
Whether you are a seasoned gardener or a first-time planter, your participation is valuable. Come and join the team in making a positive impact on our community and the environment. Let's turn the old landfill into a vibrant, green space we can all be proud of!
Dates: 26th, 27th and 28th of July
Time: 10am – 3pm
