National Tree Day Brings the Community Together at Currawong Park

On Sunday morning, the volunteers of Currawong Park teamed up with Co-exist Tamworth to celebrate National Tree Day with a fantastic morning of planting, community connection and a delicious BBQ.

Together, volunteers planted 40 new trees and plants, helping to expand and enhance the existing garden bed at Currawong Park a Landcare Initiative. The morning was a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, get their hands dirty and contribute to creating a greener, healthier space for everyone to enjoy.

The planting also provided a chance to learn more about the native plants growing throughout the garden, including enjoying a unique taste of old man saltbush that was already growing at the site – even making its way into the sausages cooked on the BBQ!

A big thank you goes to all the wonderful volunteers who came along and helped make the morning such a success. Events like these highlight the importance of community involvement in caring for our local environment and demonstrate what can be achieved when passionate groups work together.

We look forward to watching the new plants grow and seeing the garden continue to thrive for years to come!
