On behalf of Grow West, Port Phillip and Westernport CMA, Victorian National Parks Association and Friends of Werribee Gorge and Long Forest Mallee, we would like to thank you for helping us make the 2017 planting day a success, with 200 volunteers attending and 6,000 native seedlings planted.

We would also like to thank the following who contributed to the community planting day; both in kind through their efforts and financially; Moorabool Shire Council, Melbourne Water, Fifteen Trees, G.J. Gardner Homes, Bacchus Marsh Lions Club, Victorian Mobile Landcare Group, Dera Sacha Sauda volunteers and local residents. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Ben and G.J.

  Thank you Ben and the team from Bacchus Marsh for your continued support of our tree planting projects. Your trees (375) are part of an enormous project by Grow West. They will be well looked after to ensure they thrive and survive for decades to come. Slàinte – Colleen[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
