On Sunday we were joined by 16 participants for our Ecosystems in Our Cities event at the Gallery Gardens Bushcare site. The Gallery Gardens Bushcare group has been going for nearly 25 years. The group enjoyed a site tour by Simon Alexander Cook from The Social Canvas AU, and a talk on urban ecology by Creating Canopies Coordinator Elisha Duxbury.
We finished things off with morning tea and measuring the circumference of an ancient cabbage gum. It was 4.5m at breast height! 😮🌳🌳

Last weekend we had the absolute pleasure of meeting 12 inspiring young people for Get Your Hands Dirty - Eco Campout at Mitchell Park in Cattai. It was fantastic to hear about all the activities everyone is already involved with from Landcare to wildlife and climate action!

The group helped smash a patch of mother of millions and trad in the Reserve. @toms_hooked_on_nature and Avianation took us on epic Nocturnal Nature Safaris and morning birdwalk. Massive thanks to @nswnationalparks for hosting and to everyone who came along! @richiebenson00

A great day planting trees in Fairfield on friday

A great day planting trees in Fairfield on friday 9th October for the Creating Canopies team. It was a long but fun day out and exciting to be creating an urban native canopy at a hospital in this unusual COVID world!

Landcare NSW and Greater Sydney Landcare Network coordinated the planting of 1200 trees and companion shrubs, planted by about 20 volunteers. This work was supported by the Premier’s Priority Greening our City, Fairfield Hospital, South West Sydney Local Heath District and Fairfield City Council.

We want to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the tree planting. It was a big day, but well worth it to start an urban forest! #landcare #greatersydneylandcare #landcarensw #trees #treeplanting

Huge thanks to the 8 volunteers from Sydney who journeyed out to Capertee Valley for GYHD - Living on the Edge! 👊🌿

The event was a partnership between Capertee Valley Landcare, Central Tablelands LLS and Friends of the Colo, who were the local hosts for the event, and Geater Sydney Landcare Network.

We got to help restore Capertee River by taking out massive privets, explore an abandoned shale oil works, see bushfire recovery in Wollemi National Park, camp out, and enjoy stunning views!

Thanks to the local Landcare groups and CS LLS for hosting us! We can't wait to do it again!

Huge thanks to all the volunteers for the day! 🌳🌳🌳 #CreatingCanopies #LandcareNSW #koalas #trees #GreaterSydney #DPIE

Thinking about what to do after the COVID restrictions are lifted? Apply for the Spring into Scavange program and lead your community to become waste-wise. They'll teach you the ins and outs of event organisation and community activation through hosting your own Scavenge event in September, October or November 2020 - dates may change. @seasidescavenge
