On a wintery Sunday morning on July 27, approximately 130 locals gathered to plant over 6000 native grasses along the Kororoit Creek corridor in Sunshine West, helping to create much needed habitat for species such as the eastern long-necked turtle.
The event, organised by council’s conservation team in partnership with Friends of Kororoit Creek, also celebrated National Tree Day.
In attendance was Brimbank mayor Thuy Dang, as well as councillors Lucy Nguyen and Joh Bauch.
They all had the opportunity to get their hands in the soil, as well as chat with community members over some delicious warm food provided by local caterers, the Granary.
The event and associated conservation activities along Kororoit Creek was supported by the Victorian government through the Green Links grant program.
