Together With Nature Tree Planting Festival

One-day tree planting festival

Planting, food, music and hands-on workshops will transform the banks of the Margaret River on June 7 for a new one-day tree planting festival called Together with Nature.

Led by Nature Conservation Margaret River Region, the festival invites people to roll up their sleeves in the morning planting session, before settling in for a catered lunch, live music and a rich afternoon program of workshops spanning culture, science and creativity.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for young people aged 6-18 and free for kids aged five and under, including lunch and your choice of one afternoon workshop.

Program:

• 10am to 12pm, volunteers will help plant 2,000 native plants at a revegetation site along the upper reaches of the Wooditjup Bilya
• From 12pm, the focus shifts to food and festivities, with lunch provided by Cape to Cape Explorer Tours - including dessert by Darnell’s General Store - alongside live music from The Nomadics and spoken word poetry by Sari Bennett from Stitch Poetry.
• At 1pm there will be a Welcome to Country and Wadandi cultural wongi (talk) with custodian Zac Webb
• 1.30pm, the afternoon workshops kick off, offering something for all ages and interests spanning science, culture, conservation and spirit. 

Together with Nature is the largest Nature Conservation volunteer planting event of the year, and a powerful example of community-driven environmental action. Free native plants will also be given away -  one per household - helping extend the impact beyond the day itself.
