The planting session will be followed by a celebration morning tea.
City of Armadale Mayor Henry Zelones OAM, JP said that in the spirit of celebrating National Volunteer Week he encouraged students with an interest in volunteering to get involved.
“Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience. It is a positive way of giving back to the community we live in.
“The planting day is an excellent opportunity for students who have an interest in volunteering, to get their hands dirty and experience volunteering in the City.
“The two and a half hours of planting will go a long way to help grow the City for the future. It will also be an opportunity to learn about sustainable planting, the environment and rejuvenating the river bank.”
