Plantings to establish new native vegetation continue on
both Crown Land reserves and private properties throughout the Murrindindi
Shire.
Last week a volunteer group from the ANZ Bank’s corporate
headquarters in Docklands planted out 480 sedges, grasses and shrubs on the Break
O Day Reserve in Glenburn.
The ANZ group came prepared for the wet day with their
gumboots and suitable clothing.
We later shared a BBQ lunch at the new Alf Miller Park in
Glenburn.

We have another
nine days of planting already booked for the remainder of the year at locations
throughout the Murrindindi Shire.

We were fortunate in receiving a Federal Government ‘Caring
for our Country’ grant to purchase the plants, materials and tools for the
project.
Since 2010 we have planted over 33,000 plants, many grown
locally at Flowerdale from seed collected locally together with some more propagated
for us at the Kevin Heinze Garden Centre in Doncaster and the Euroa Arboretum.
