Pupils from St Albans Heights, Monmia Primary School dig in for environment

Brimbank Primary School pupils have learned the value of rolling up their sleeves and putting something back into the land during a series of tree-planting sessions. Ninety pupils from St Albans Heights Primary School put in three hours at St Albans’ Stradbroke Reserve

last Tuesday. Then about 130 students from Monmia Primary School chipped in at Willys Avenue Reserve in Keilor Downs on Thursday morning. The sessions were part of Brimbank council’s 10,000 Trees program, which aims to add 10,000 trees across the city each

year for a decade. The community is being invited to attend a National Tree Day event at Sydenham Park on Sunday, July 27.
