Wambuul Macquarie Riverbank Restoration Project – Tree Planting Day
April 2, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm AEDT
Come and help plant trees along the Wambuul Macquarie River to improve river health and fish habitat.
As part of the Wambuul Macquarie Riverbank Restoration Project we will plant approx. 700-800 trees along the river, on the Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo river frontage.
What to bring/wear: Bring gardening gloves and a small gardening trowel if you have one. Wear enclosed shoes and sun protective clothing. Bring a water bottle, and you can refill from our water canisters. Lunch will be provided.
Registrations are essential
Access: Through Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo Gate 13 – its on the left hand side of Obley Rd as you’re driving out of Dubbo. It’s the first gate on the left after the 100 kph speed limit sign (the gate is approx. 200-300m past this sign). Please leave the gate as you find it. Follow the road down to the river and you’ll see a parking area in the paddock.
Amenities: There will be a portaloo on site.
This project is funded by the Australian Government under the Murray–Darling Healthy Rivers Program, and it is part of an OzFish-Landcare partnership with Dubbo Rivercare. The Healthy Rivers Program is funding community-led grants for on–ground projects that improve the health and ecological condition of rivers and wetlands across the Basin while supporting economic development and jobs. This program is part of the Murray–Darling Communities Investment Package.
