2026 Camden Council National Tree Day

Camden Council is expanding on the 2025 National tree day site and continuing revegetation efforts at Fergusons Reserve adjacent to Matahill creek and the Nepean River. We will plant mixed River-flat Eucalypt Forest species with the aim to improve the condition of this endangered ecological community, providing important foraging, shelter and breeding habitat for our precious native wildlife and pollinators. This event is a wonderful opportunity to join with other community members to make a difference. We invite you to register to join us for this important event.
