This planting day was an important part of our ongoing works at the Gunning Showground, where as part of a Stronger Country Communities Fund project, GDL has been building an ecological bushland park, complete with a yarning circle, park benches, and wheelchair accessible paths. Consisting of Box Gum Grassy Woodland, a critically endangered ecological community, this bush block not only benefits local wildlife but also provides a peaceful, natural community space perfect for coming together and connecting with nature. 

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated, whether you were planting, sharing stories, or offering support in other ways. We look forward to seeing these plants grow and flourish over the coming years. Keep an eye out for future activities, and feel free to drop by the Showground Bush Block to see the beautiful progress we’ve made!

This event was supported in part by Acciona, who funded lunch and refreshments, keeping everyone well-fed and motivated throughout the day. This activity was also made possible by the NSW Landcare Enabling Program, a collaboration between Local Land Services and Landcare NSW supported by the NSW Government.
