Help Restore the Murrumbidgee and help be part of this areas environmental future!
Join us in a special community planting event along the Murrumbidgee in a hidden area that is crucial to the river. This is your chance to help restore one of Canberra’s less-seen natural corridors while contributing to the health of our broader river system. We’ll be planting native vegetation to stabilise the creek banks, combat erosion, and bring life back to this important waterway. The planting site is in a beautiful, off-the-beaten-path spot which is perfect for those up for a bit of a walk and a bit of adventure!

We will provide tools for the day, feel free to bring a pair of your favourite gloves if you have them.
