Plant a tree for a greener Pearl Cove!

 

 

 

 

Join us in celebrating our green spaces in our Human Living Libraries event and planting trees for National Tree Day with Planet Ark.

Borrow a “human book” to gain first hand insight into each book’s relationship with their environment and their role in sustaining a green environment. Learn about minimising and managing waste with Planet Ark and a waste management council employee, learn to love and appreciate your natural environment with an Indigenous Australian Elder and learn to preserve our green spaces with a bush care volunteer.

Sound like something you would enjoy?
