People from more than 150 countries participate in this United Nations international day, which celebrates environmental action and the power of governments, businesses and individuals to create a more sustainable world.
This year’s World Environment Day theme focuses on land restoration, desertification and drought resilience under the slogan “Our land. Our future. We are #GenerationRestoration.”
Come along to a community planting day!
In keeping with this year’s theme of land restoration, Brimbank Council will be holding a community planting day on the Saturday 8 June from 10am. Join Council staff and Friends of Kororoit Creek down at the wonderful “Stepping Stones”, along the Kororoit Creek Trail in Sunshine West, for a morning of planting and fun nature-themed activities.
The community will have the opportunity to plant a range of native groundcover plants, wildflowers and shrubs; building up the natural habitat for local birds, reptiles and insects.
Participants will also have the opportunity to learn about some of the native animals that call the creek home, as well as learn more about what you can do in your home to help nature and biodiversity flourish.
There will also be a Welcome to Country from a Traditional Custodian, and some activities for the kids including a fun clay activity creating a flock of Cockatoo tiles to be installed along the creek.
All are welcome. Register for the Brimbank World Environment Day event here: https://events.humanitix.com/world-environment-day-5yuvhng9
