Wollondilly Council is hosting a tree planting day for Sydney Water staff this Friday, 19 February to assist withthe restoration of bushland along Racecourse Creek at Picton Sportsground.
The project will establish 500 trees and 1500 shrubs and grasses to help restore the habitat for the endangered ecological community in the area.
Mayor Robert Khan noted, “It is fantastic to see Council and Sydney Water working together to look after our local bushland.”
“I’m particularly proud to see that the plants being used along the creek have been grown at the Wollondilly Community Nursery by our dedicated volunteers.”
The project will see the establishment of a partnership between Wollondilly Shire Council and Sydney Water’s West Region Delivery Team to meet biodiversity offsets required by Sydney Water.
