Get your hands dirty this weekend while you make the environment cleaner and greener, as part of the Give Our Bushland a Boost community planting day.

Residents can head down to Cardington Way Reserve in Huntingdale between 9am and 12pm on Sunday to help plant 5000 native seedlings along the Southern River foreshore.

Gosnells mayor Terresa Lynes said volunteers could come for an hour or stay the whole morning.

“Give Our Bushland a Boost is a fun, family event which will make a practical difference to our local environment, improve biodiversity and make our neighbourhood a better place to live and spend time in,” she said.

“Volunteers can also enjoy a sausage sizzle on the day, as they get to know and help restore their local bushland.”

Bring your own gloves, water bottle and appropriate footwear and clothing suitable for the weather.

Meet at the registration tent opposite Kelvedon Way.
