THE TreeProject unites urban and rural communities together and puts trees back on the land as their volunteers propagate and raise Indigenous flora in their own back yard nurseries ready for yours.
Since 1989 the TreeProject has sown two million trees, and the non-for-profit organisation is not slowing down.
Now is as good a time as any to plant trees, shrubs and grasses to help soils and landscapes prone to erosion and also provide a valuable habitat for displaced wildlife.
Landcare groups and anyone with a revegetation project can access their ‘at-cost’ seedlings using their on-line database to identify the right species for the right environment with over 400 species to consider.
Peruse their on-line, A-Z catalogue and also learn more about the species, its biological traits and even its potentially undesirable attributes.
A highlight of the amazing catalogue is that there are images of the seedling at four different stages of growth (up to six months), visit treeproject.org.au/seedling-database/.
Landowners who recognise a species growing in their back yards may like to register them with the TreeProject.
Next month, TreeProject’s David Smith will be presenting in person on Monday, September 1, from 7.30pm at the Royal Oak Hotel in Kilmore.
Willowmavin Landcare Group is hosting the event, don’t miss out; it is free to attend.
