Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation has begun its 2023 tree-planting season with the aim of planting 25,000 trees between now and October. “We have received amazing support from local authorities, property owners providing land for tree-planting, and the wider community,” president Dirk Jansen said.
MPKC’s tree-planting projects raise awareness of wildlife and work to establish vegetation corridors to link fragmented areas of indigenous vegetation and increase the tree canopy across the Peninsula, mainly on private property.
Mr Jansen also invited more volunteers to join MPKC’s tree-planting days. “Many hands make light work, and it is very satisfying to be a part of a group of keen volunteers and plant 500 trees in just two or three hours,” he said. “It is a lovely way to start the weekend and is such a feel-good activity for many people.”
