Glen Eira’s biodiversity includes a diverse range of organisms, from insects and small mammals to transient birds and majestic trees. Sadly, there is a lack of natural ecosystems in Glen Eira and much of the municipality comprises heavily modified environments, such as buildings and gardens.
This planting day is part of Glen Eira City Council’s Community Planting Week from Sunday 28 April to Saturday 4 May, including a plant giveaway.
It’s all part of the collective effort to grow our urban forest to enhance tree canopy and biodiversity across public and private land in Glen Eira. Learn more about Council’s strategy commitments, work underway to grow our urban forest, and ways you can take action.
