Trees are vital to liveable and sustainable communities; that’s why Wodonga Urban Landcare Network (WULN) aims to facilitate the planting of 23,000 native trees and other plants in the Wodonga area in 2023, creating a lasting legacy of a greener landscape.
Trees are vital to regulate the water cycle, provide vital habitat for wildlife, trap carbon and help fight climate change, prevent erosion and help improve soil, trees reduce noise and light pollution in urban areas and create oxygen!
WULN has committed to purchasing and planting up to 7,500 native plants for planting by local Landcare groups.
But to reach our goal of 23,000 trees within the Wodonga Council area we need your help.
If you are a developer, or a member of a school, business or service club and you would like to get involved please contact Megan Mebberson, megan@wodongalandcare.org.au.
By supporting WULN in the Tree Challenge, workplaces and organisations will be acknowledged as a sponsor of this project on WULN’s website and social media, and their representatives invited to continue their environmentalism and join a local Landcare group or ‘adopt a patch’ to collectively care for.
This is a challenge for the Wodonga community and we encourage the community to become involved and feel ownership of its success.
Through our community engagement and the planting of up to 23,000 trees, the Tree Challenge encapsulates what WULN is about:
