Are you a rural landholder interested in planting trees for habitat, but not sure where to start?

Join us for a free, half-day workshop designed to help you do a successful habitat planting on your block.

We’ll visit a local property where you can see the difference between a recent planting and a well-established planted forest to learn what success looks like over time.

What to expect

This workshop will cover:

• how to decide what to plant

• when and how to plant

• what’s involved in good site preparation and ongoing maintenance

We’ll also provide tips along the way, including how to select good seedlings from a nursery and the indicators of a good planting.

The workshop will be a great opportunity to see how different tree species grow together and what they look like as they develop. You’ll also get to meet the landholder who has a great passion for trees.
