The City of Armadale and Armadale Gosnells Landcare Group (AGLG) are hosting a National Tree Day event on Saturday 25 July, 9am to noon at Fancote Park, Kelmscott.

“We are aiming to plant 5000 native seedlings in an effort to create a wildlife corridor, protect the river and increase biodiversity along the Canning River” said Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones OAM JP.

“Our community has told us time and time again that they value our bushland and natural open spaces. Events such as these allow us to play a small part in taking care of our valued bushland and ensuring it continues to thrive for future generations.

“Everyone is welcome to participate. The planting session is great fun for the kids and is accessible for people with a disability.

“Make sure to bring your gloves, sturdy footwear and a bottle of water. Plants, tools for planting and morning tea is provided.

“Planting will take place near the Canning River at Fancote Park, Kelmscott, off Page Road. Look out for the marquee,” he said.

To be a part of this event contact AGLG on 0413 883 565 or visit treeday.planetark.org and look up the Kelmscott event.
