Trillion Trees Australia

🌳 CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING 🌳 Today we welcomed a team of corporate volunteers to our Hazelmere site to assist with weeding. They began the day by weeding under the benches in our community nursery. Its really important that we keep this area weed free to reduce the spread of seeds among our precious young native plants. After morning tea they moved down to the river bank to weed our Bilya restoration site. This area adjacent to the Helena River was planted by community volunteers in 2023, and the native plants are really starting to thrive now. They will be greatly assisted by the removal of invasive weeds around the planting area, allowing the native plants to flourish and out compete their weedy neighbours. Volunteering with us is a great way to build team spirit while working outdoors in nature in a peaceful environment on the edge of the Swan Valley.

📣MP VISIT Yesterday we welcomed Hon Tanya Plibersek MP (Minister for the Environment and Water) and Tania Lawrence MP (Member for Hasluck) for a tour of our Hazelmere base. They enjoyed the opportunity to meet and thank a number of our wonderful volunteers who help us to grow over 200,000 native trees and plants each year in our community nursery. Each year over 2,000 volunteers support our work to plant trees and grow communities in WA. With the help of our valued volunteers, we are restoring landscapes and educating the next generation of environmental advocates. The Minister and our local Member concluded their visit by planting a wonderful WA native tree, Corymbia calophylla (Marri). “It was our pleasure to welcome Minister Plibersek and our local member, Tania Lawrence MP, to tour our facilities and shine a light on our work. Introducing them to our volunteer team, who are the heartbeat of our organisation, is a great way to show our dedicated volunteers how much their contribution is appreciated. At Trillion Trees Australia, we’re not just planting trees; we’re growing communities, restoring landscapes, and educating generations.” Mark Hullett, Trillion Trees Australia CEO #treesnow #plantmoretrees #lovenature #perthwa #treestagram

💜💚CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING 💜💚 A team of volunteers from TPG joined us in our community nursery recently to help plant out a new native garden bed. ☀️The team worked with great enthusiasm in the winter sunshine to get a wide range of native plants in the ground. 🐝We are currently planting in a range of locations around our Hazelmere base to improve the biodiversity of the site and increase the range of habitat available for local wildlife. These plants will also enhance our efforts to future-proof our organisation by providing access to more of our own cutting material for plant propagation. 📩If you'd like to find out more about volunteering opportunities please email contact@trilliontrees.org.au

🌲 💚 100 volunteers = 3000 trees planted! 🌲 💚 We are grateful to everyone who turned out on a wet Saturday morning to plant trees with us at Reg Bond Reserve in the City of Swan. This area forms part of the Memorial Groves we have been planting for almost 30 years in partnership with Bowra and O'Dea. A living legacy for loved ones lost. We planted with purpose in memory of our former president, the late Thom Scott, who passed away in December. A towering inspiration to us all in life and death to just plant one more tree. You can visit this memorial grove in Viveash and support our work to plant more trees by making a donation today. 📷 View the event photo gallery here: https://lnkd.in/ggR5DUnJ

🌳 Team Planting Day - Boart Longyear 🌳 Huge thanks to the enthusiastic team of 40 colleagues, family and friends from Boart Longyear who joined us for a Team Planting Day at Guildford Meadow. In just a few hours, we planted over 2000 native trees and plants at this important restoration site on the edge of the Swan Valley. Located on the banks of the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) this project contains a significant remnant wetland, once surrounded by riparian vegetation and a Eucalyptus rudis (Moitch / Flooded Gum) Woodland. The area was largely cleared for grazing in the 1930s with only the wetland and a few large trees remaining. Now a part of Whiteman Park, it’s an area of environmental importance that provides viable habitat for threatened and at-risk native animal species, and is home to significant, registered cultural sites of the local Noongar people. Since 2016 we've planted over 70,000 native trees and plants here to create a huge woodland for future generations to enjoy. 🌳 You can help us to plant more trees here by making a donation today: https://lnkd.in/gG7Hd8c4

🌳 Almost 100 people joined us for our first Community Planting Day of 2024 at Mandoon Moitch (Guildford Meadow). Despite the cool temperatures, volunteers of all ages and abilities came together to plant over 6000 native trees and plants on Saturday. Trillion Trees’ Ecological Restoration Manager, Julian Beasley, says this restoration work is essential to rebuilding lost natural habitats and restoring biodiversity. “As we emerge from the longest dry-spell in WA’s history, it’s up to us to help replenish the landscape we live in, help rebuild habitats for endangered wildlife, and protect the precious balance of drinking water supplies. Attending one of our Winter Community Planting Days is a wonderful way to spend a day outdoors, and to play your part in taking real action to combat the impact of climate change,” said Julian.
