The solution

A project team was developed and partnerships with local and regional organisations established. Funding was received from Planting Trees for the Queens Jubilee for tree planting and a formal ceremony. Additional funding was received from NSW Biodiversity Trust to run workshops and a Guided Bushwalk. Workshops included topics such as: Clay seed balls for native plant propagation, Local conservation projects and on farm benefits, Endangered Birds in our area, BCT Private Land Conservation and Bush Tucker.  Local schools and community groups were engaged to actively participate in the days events. Three mature Kurrajong Trees were transplanted to Milling Park Dunedoo as part of the project. Tube stock were also planted at the Dunedoo Woodlands Learning Centre. A Welcome to Country was conducted, along with a Smoking Ceremony and a Bush Tucker morning Tea and Barbeque were provided. The main event was held in partnership with Made n Grown Markets and free potted Kurrajong Trees were provided to interested people. The local historical society held a museum open day. A formal ceremony was held and speakers provided interesting insights into local history and the environment.
