Greater Shepparton City Council

We are excited to invite you all to improve the biodiversity in our region and plant indigenous trees, shrubs, groundcovers and grasses along the sides of the floodway within the reserve. This planting will create a continuous wildlife corridor for our native fauna and increase the amount of native vegetation within our municipality. With only 2.5% remaining, your assistance planting on the day will be a significant positive contribution. We look forward to the community coming together to improve our natural environment and have fun doing it!
