The bushland at Milton Park is home to critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland.
However, while Milton Park has benefited from more than 9,000 native stems planted in the area during recent National Tree Day events, there’s still more work to be done.
Which is why another 1000 native trees and shrubs will be planted as part of the 2025 National Tree Day on Sunday, July 27.
Campbelltown Council has issued a clarion call to local residents to be part of the effort to restore this important piece of bushland.
Registrations are now open for those who want to lend a hand on the day, from 10am to 2pm, near the softball fields.
“National Tree Day is a chance to get involved and do your part to help these important regenerative efforts at Milton Park,” says Mayor Darcy Lound.
“Projects like this provide valuable habitat for local native species and help keep our bushland healthy, improving the amenity for people living in the area,” Cr Lound said.
“This is also a great opportunity to learn more about Council’s Bushcare volunteer program and how you can get involved in our ongoing efforts to protect and enhance bushland in your suburb,” he said.
The tree planting event is being held in partnership with Greening Australia, as well as the Redfern Creek Bushcare Group and local schools.
People attending are encouraged to wear a hat, long pants, enclosed shoes and bring drinking water.
