Koala Food Tree Planting Day at The Briars in Mt Martha

Join me at a special community Koala Food Tree Planting day at The Briars, a conservation park in the Mornington Peninsula town of Mt Martha. We will be joining the Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation group to help plant native trees within a new sanctuary expansion area to create a magical habitat for koalas and other precious species on the Mornington Peninsula.

The goal is to provide more habitat restoration for wildlife, help the environment by harvesting carbon, and create beautiful walking and educational spaces for the community. We can learn about the local environment and wildlife, and make new friends, as we work together to plant hundreds of trees and shrubs.

Agenda

• After entering The Briars site, follow the A-frame signage along the road until you reach the Josephines restaurant carpark.
• I will meet you outside the registration building at 8.50am.
• Then at 9am we will register together and meet the Peninsula Koala Conservation organisers who will go over the plan and practicalities for the day.
• After that we will head out to the sanctuary area to plant trees and put protective tree guards around them.
• There will be a break midway through for morning tea with coffee, tea, milo and biscuits provided by the conservation group. You may like to bring your own snack as well.

It is recommended to wear long pants, closed-toe shoes and to bring your own gardening gloves as we will be walking through bushland and grassy areas.
