Enjoy a day of tree planting on the plains west of Melbourne, connecting with nature and helping koalas – it’s an incredibly rewarding activity!
After meeting at the meeting point, we will drive in convoy to the nearby planting site for the day. You will be given guidance by our experienced staff, then you can plant in the company of your own family or friends, or with the rest of the group. We aim to plant around 2000 koala trees, which will take at least 3 hours depending on the group size.
After planting for a bit, we’ll take morning tea and lunch breaks (BYO food and water). This will be undercover where possible but will often be outdoors. We recommend dressing in layers as weather can be variable – we’ve planted through rain, hail, and shine, sometimes all in one day!
A lot of the properties that we plant on are large, open fields with no facilities. We recommend using the bathrooms at the meeting point in the morning.
Note: Tree planting is an incredibly rewarding activity but it requires some fitness – ability to walk on uneven terrain, carry equipment, bend over and use hammers. With that said, though, we welcome all ages and abilities.
