It takes a village, and together we can help to create vital habitat for local wildlife, one tree at a time
A fun-filled family event, uniting for a greener tomorrow ...
Proudly supported by BUPA and Landcare Australia, the Doonan Planting Festival is back for 2025! Bring your family and friends for a fun-filled morning of tree planting and community spirit! It takes a village and together, the aim is to help create vital habitat for local wildlife whilst leaving a lasting legacy - one tree at a time. The goal is to plant 6,000 native trees, shrubs and ground covers to support species like the eastern grey kangaroo, the wallum froglet, brown quail, Australian pipit and grey-headed flying foxes.
It's always special knowing the aim is to support local wildlife ...
