Platy and Planting

Platy and Planting

It’s that time of year again, when we invite you to set aside a few hours for planting on a Trust for Nature property, and then sit quietly on the Campaspe riverbank to watch for the resident family of platypus.

It’s a monitoring event, so sightings (or not) will be forwarded to the ACF to add to the registry. It’s one way we can check on the health of the platypus and the river over time.

This trust for nature property has hosted our event for the last two years, so if you would like to see how your past planting efforts have fared, book yourself in!

Thank you to Jo Fischer and Bill Morrissey for hosting this event.
