Community Planting Projects
Planting with Purpose
MOTT undertakes an annual local community-based tree planting project. An area is identified and native plants are propagated which are suitable for the site. This work is usually undertaken in conjunction with the local council and the planting is done by volunteers. If you’d like to get involved, please contact us via Facebook or the email address below.
