On Saturday, the 100 thousandth tree was planted at Discovery Park, Liverpool as part of our Creating Canopies project! Despite the rain, it was great to have volunteers show up and plant almost 1,000 trees in their local park!

There was a free BBQ for all the volunteers as well as free plants to take home and the @plantingseedsau group were there to talk all things ‘creating habitat in backyards’. And big thanks to @liverpoolcitycouncil for having us!

This day has been a long time coming for the Greater Sydney Landcare community. The delays from the past two years of COVID restrictions and challenging weather conditions have meant that the Creating Canopies project reaching the goal of planting 100,000 trees across Sydney is a massive win for the community-based organisation.

What a great photo of a Lyrebird captured by Matt from our Creating Canopies team!

Under the Creating Canopies project, we have planted thousands of trees and shrubs across Greater Sydney over the last 2 years. These plantings are providing critical habitat and food for so many local native species, including the beautiful Lyrebird.

Help us get to our goal of 100,000 trees planted by coming along to a planting day near you. Check out all our upcoming events on Eventbrite (link in our bio)

It’s finally time to celebrate reaching our huge milestone for the Creating Canopies program – 100,000 trees planted across Greater Sydney!

Despite the ups and downs of COVID restrictions and the huge amounts of rain Sydney has been receiving, we are still on track to plant our 100,000th tree at the Discovery Park in Liverpool with @liverpoolcitycouncil !

We want to invite all our supporters, volunteers and the community to come and join us on Saturday 3 September to help us celebrate and also to help us add 1,400 trees to the park, growing Liverpool’s tree canopy.

On Sunday 31st July our Creating Canopies team joined @cityofparramatta for a big @nationaltreeday event. Over 550 people came along to help us increase the tree canopy of Upjohn Park!
There was live music, free BBQ, face painting, wildlife displays, a plant giveaway and of course there were hundreds of plants added to the park. There were smiles all around and the community were incredibly keen to learn more about their local environment.
Upjohn Park is a great example of the success of past National Tree Day events which have added valuable native habitat to the area. You can see weeds such as Small-leaf Privet being replaced with a diverse range of native trees. As we were setting up the stalls, beautiful parrots could be heard calling in the restored bushland.
Special thanks to Donna Davis - Lord Mayor of Parramatta, Councillor Kellie Darley for City of Parramatta and Greens Clr Phil Bradley - Parramatta for coming along to support the event and lend a hand.

Is there any greater feeling than going back to see how big the trees you planted have become??

Here are some great shots from a recent inspection of our plantings at Mt Druitt Hospital. All this growth in just 7 months is so great to see!

These plants will offer habitat and food to the local native wildlife as well as keep the area cooler over summer. Thanks to everyone who helped us get these 5,404 trees in the ground!

As the COVID-19 restrictions eased and lots of people began returning to work, many workplaces decided it was time to have a team-building day out of the office – and what better activity than planting trees!

Big thanks to Pernod-Ricard, Atlassian, Chep, Salesforce, LaSalle and many more for turning up to help us get hundreds of plants in the ground over the last couple of months. It has helped us get closer and closer to our 100,000 trees goal.

You never know what you might find on one of our planting days. This beautiful Spotted Pardalote was photographed by one of our lucky team members, Matt.

The Spotted Pardalotte is one of Australia’s smallest birds but that doesn't stop it from thinking big. They create impressive burrows in the banks of rivers, gardens and mounds for their nests.

Happy National Volunteer Week!

One of our big projects that wouldn’t be possible without our amazing volunteers, is Creating Canopies.

Our aim is to help cool our communities by planting 100,000 trees across Greater Sydney. Tree canopies also create habitat for wildlife, increase biodiversity, and invite people back into nature.

We celebrate you, our wonderful volunteers who lend your time, energy, laughter and a little elbow grease to get these plants in the ground.
