25.01.2022 It was a fantastic effort yesterday at the Summer Island flood recovery planting day. The enthusiasm and efficiency of the volunteers on the day was a joy to witness and be a part of. Thanks to this effort another 235 trees of 20 floodplain species were planted and now the site is primed for a post flood recovery. Thank you to all involved on the day and behind the scenes.
