Thank you to the 39 ING Australia employees that joined Greater Sydney Landcare’s Creating Canopies team for a corporate volunteering day recently.

The ING team planted 1,000 trees and shrubs at Cessna Reserve, Middleton Grange in the Liverpool LGA on Fri 15th September. Amazing effort team! In time these plants will provide habitat and cooling shade to help mitigate urban heat.

Thanks also to Tom Covell from Hooked on Nature for talking to the group about the importance of their planting and for leading a nature safari to help the group discover the amazing but often overlooked creatures of the reserve.

Thank you to the 27 volunteers who planted 1,000 trees and 500 grasses at a Creating Canopies planting day on Saturday 26
August.

The beautiful location was Cubbitch Barta Reserve in Camden Park. These plants will help to uphold the bank against erosion and provide food and shelter to wildlife.

Nectarivores and pollinators will love the new flowering plants, once they get established.

Thank you also to WILD Conservation @wild_spec for joining the planting and to Kane Durant for giving an inspiring talk on how the work would benefit the local wildlife and natural environment.

Join us at a planting day soon. Link in bio to see our upcoming events on Eventbrite.

Thank you to the 40ish volunteers who joined the Creating Canopies team at @nangarinpicton. A bit of rain couldn’t dampen their spirits. This amazing group planted 500 native trees and shrubs, including koala food and shelter trees that will benefit the local koala population in the years to come.

Thank you also to Kane Durrant of WILD Conservation @wild_spec and Sophie Blair of Greater Sydney Landcare’s Southwest Sydney Koala Project for giving a talk about the local koala population and how to help protect them.

And thank you Nangarin Vineyard Estate for partnering with Creating Canopies to improve canopy cover on your land.

A fantastic day, led by Creating Canopies’ own Matt Keighery, was had by all on Friday 18th August at @carnarvongolfclub.

Corporate volunteers from @spirax_sarco returned to the site to join the community in a day of weeding, mulching and planting.

This continued bush regeneration work has led to measurable improvements in water quality, plant diversity and bird life. Golf courses can be amazing habitat havens - 47 different species of bird have been spotted at Carnarvon. Great work everyone!
