More than one hundred community and environmentally minded volunteers helped plant nearly 2,500 plants at Beale Street Peakhurst. The event was organised by Greater Sydney Landcare and Oatley Flora and Fauna with support from Georges River Council. The plants were provided by Menai Wildflower Group volunteers and Greater Sydney Landcare. It was fabulous to see people of all ages working together to improve our local area and the environment. Thank you to everyone who helped today🌺🌳🌺🌳![]()

www.facebook.com/share/GyBXBhZpcg5gREFt/?mibextid=WC7FNeThe NSW Koala Strategy is being reviewed & we strongly encourage writing a submission to ensure there is a strong united voice calling for real action. The current strategy is sending us backwards because it does not prevent land clearing. We’ve prepared a handy one page submission guide, as well as providing tips for how to write a submission.
