The 16th of March will see Armidale Tree Group and friends planting their very first 'stepping stone' in the Saumarez Creek Corridor. With the help of volunteers, they are hoping to plant 2000 trees and shrubs in the Enmore Travelling Stock Reserve (TSR)!
This will be the first of many stepping stones and larger habitat patches along the Saumarez Creek, eventually linking Dangars Falls to Invergowrie, providing connectivity across the fractured tablelands, allowing threatened and declining bird species like the Speckled Warbler, Brown Treecreeper and Scarlet Robin to move through the landscape. In the future, it will also allow koalas to move towards cooler habitat.
This is an activity for all ages and the Armidale Tree Group would love to see you there. The planting will start at 3pm and finish at 6pm. A BBQ with meat and vegetarian options will be at 5pm. Please RSVP to the Armidale Tree Group 02 6771 1620 for catering purposes. Download a flier with all the information here.
