One Tree Per Child Program and great outcomes have been celebrated from the project each year.
Although called One Tree Per Child, the species planted under the project in Greater Shepparton include indigenous trees, shrubs, groundcovers and grasses that have largely been cleared from our region.
Each year the Greater Shepparton City Council facilitates a native plant to be planted for each child (person aged under 18 years).
Kylie Greater Shepparton City Council Environment Officer came and spoke to the students of the loss of indigenous plants over time. The students got to plant some native plants in our environmental native corner and will be able to care for them and watch them grow.
Thank you, Kylie, for taking the time to organise the plants, stakes and guards for our planting afternoon.
