Shire of Mundaring planting for the future

Lynn GriersonHills Avon Valley Gazette

Now in its 28th year, the program is part of the Shire’s commitment to providing habitat for native fauna, as well as plants for residents to create sustainable gardens.

During the program’s lifespan, about one million seedlings and plants have been distributed to residents, ratepayers and community groups for planting in the Shire.

The seedlings are all local native plants and the range of species ensure there is something to suit variations in local conditions, from trees to bird-attracting garden plants.
