National Tree Day in Mandurah

Jill BurgessMandurah Coastal Times

ROLL up your sleeves and get ready to join a nation-wide effort to restore the landscape and reconnect with nature at Mandurah’s National Tree Day event at Marlee Reserve on Sunday, July 30 from 9am to noon.

The reserve in Parklands is an important wetland area that hosts one of the few remaining tuart stands in WA and provides habitat for protected and endangered species including Black Cockatoos and Phascogales.

National Tree Day is one of the most important, environmentally focused events on the City’s calendar and volunteers can enjoy tree planting, education activities, plant giveaways, native animals and take a free ride on the Mandurah Fun Train.

It was created by Planet Ark in 1996 as the focal point for a nation-wide campaign to promote community tree planting, engaging schools, local councils and communities.
