The annual Lennox Head Community Tree Planting Day is occurring again Friday 10 May 2024.
Patrick Sloan from GeoLINK is enthusiastic about inviting the community to plant in the 19th year since the GeoLINK and Ballina Shire Council planting partnership began.
Patrick says, “Each year, the local community rallies at the iconic Lennox headland to plant native seedlings of littoral rainforest species to restore what was once present on the headland pre-1800s. The day also helps the community celebrate World Environment Day.”
James Brideson, Ballina Shire Council’s Natural Resource Officer, is proud of the work so far.
“A large area has been planted since the event’s inception in 2003 when 20 volunteers first came together to plant 140 seedlings,” said Mr Brideson.
“Each year the event continues to grow, and at last count, it has been supported by 1,850 volunteers planting over 14,000 seedlings.”
Everyone is invited to join at the top of Lennox headland from 9am to 12noon on Friday 10 May 2024.
