• • DUMBLEYUNG 2020 • •

ACTIVATE the Wheatbelt invites you to join us in Dumbleyung for the weekend of JULY 17th to JULY 19th to help us plant 42,000 seedlings across five planting sites with an aim to rejuvenate badly eroded land in the Wheatbelt.

This enjoyable weekend will consist of tree planting, live music and DJ's, dancing, community connection and education.

This is a drug free and family friendly event open to all ages, where everyone is welcome to come and help us restore biodiversity and reconnect with the bush landscape !

• • WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE FESTIVAL • •

At the event we will be hard at work planting trees during the day, with the motivation of DJ's and musicians to inspire us along in the field. At night things really come to life with a diverse range of musical acts to listen and dance to. All organic meals are provided while you enjoy serenity under the stars and warmth by the bonfire. You will be encouraged to have some great conversations, play some music if you’re inclined, and make friends with like-minded people. This is a community effort where everyone is included and part of the Activate the Wheatbelt team.

Through the spirit of celebration and the physical planting of the trees themselves, Activate the Wheatbelt events get you back in touch with Mother Nature. We aim to encourage a hardworking and ethical community of people that support our environmental and societal causes. This is an opportunity to help repair our environment whilst meeting new friends and experiencing some of the rawest West Australian Bush festivals brought to you by members of the legendary Activate the Wheatbelt team.

• • THIS YEAR IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT THAN OTHER YEARS • •

This year, because of COVID-19 regulations, we are limiting the option of sleeping in communal areas and prefer that you camp in your own tent or car/van.

Note also there will be no bus travelling from Fremantle to Dumbleyung.

Rest assured, we will have strict protocols in terms of social distancing and hygiene in place and Hygiene Officers will be monitoring the camp and planting sites to ensure everyone stays safe. The number of tree planters is strictly limited and we will only allow people with tickets to join the plantings. There will be routine cleaning schedules in place for communal amenities and high-touch areas and planting equipment will be sanitised and restricted to the same user over the same weekend. We ask everyone to bring their own crockery since meals will be served from the hall in "take away" form.

• • GOALS • •

At these annual events we aim to continue to plant trees and protect our environment and the species that live in it while growing our hard working and ethical thinking community of people. We also wish to encourage community based and environmentally friendly thinking with a direct-action orientated approach by connecting people who care and who relish putting their hands to work.

Get ready for a mammoth logistical undertaking this year with 42,000 seedlings to be planted across several sites spread around the town of Dumbleyung. We’ll be working with four different farmers and each location has its own unique requirements. You’ll be planting a mixture of trees and salt-bush across these locations all helping reduce salinity levels and rehabilitate the watercourse.

We look forward to planting trees with you this year !
