Gunning Scouts planting for the future

Little champions! Thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of Gunning's Joeys, Cubs and Scouts, 75 native trees were planted at the Gunning Showground bush block one evening in early November 2022. 
The tubestock included several eucalyptus species, two wattles that flower at different times of the year, drooping sheoak and sweet bursaria. All species are appropriate for the endangered Box Gum Grassy Woodland ecology that is already present at the block.
In preparation for the planting, we had Mavller Landscaping create a weed-free patch at each location and auger 300mm holes.
This project has been made possible with funding from the Australian government’s Planting Trees for the Queen’s Jubilee program.
