Community digs deep for National Tree Day Published on 08 August 2023 Thousands of newly planted shrubs and ground covers have transformed Ellen Close reserve in Warragul thanks to dedicated community participation in Baw Baw Shire Council’s National Tree Day event. Local school kids, families and community members were amongst the hard-working crowd who got their gloves dirty planting along Hazel Creek. The ground covers included grasses, rushes and sedges and once fully developed they will help improve the creek habitat for native animals at the reserve including the Giant Gippsland Earthworm and Warragul Burrowing Crayfish that has historical recordings of potential habitat. Councillor Farhat Firdous was amongst the eager group involved on the day.
