The recently postponed National Tree Day planting workshop at Freeburgh will now go ahead this Sunday, 10 August, starting at 10am.
Participants at this year's planting can meet at the Old Harrietville Road Bridge near to the Junction with the Great Alpine Road and North East Water storage and off-take pipe, wearing suitable clothes, a hat, gloves and sturdy footwear.
The Upper Ovens Valley Landcare Group (UOVLG) is hoping to plant 500 native trees along a one kilometre stretch of the Ovens River, after invasive bushes and other woody weeds were recently removed from the embankment.
Planting participants are invited to bring along their favourite planting tools, although tools will also be provided on the day.
This is a family event, with children welcome to join in and lend a hand to plant as many native seedlings as possible.
