On Friday 25th July, a dedicated group of students from the Sacred Heart College Green Team rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty in support of Schools National Tree Day. In collaboration with the Campaspe River and Land Management Group, students took part in a special planting event along the banks of the Campaspe River at the end of Jennings Street.
With a strong sense of environmental responsibility and teamwork, the students planted a variety of grasses, sedges, and the critically endangered Anchor Plant (Discaria pubescens), helping to restore native habitat and protect biodiversity in our local river ecosystem. These plants play an important role in stabilising the riverbank, improving water quality, and providing habitat for local wildlife.
The event was not only an opportunity for hands-on conservation, but also a valuable learning experience. Students gained insights into the importance of riparian restoration, the threats facing native species, and how community action can make a meaningful difference.
A big thank you goes to the Campaspe River Landcare Network for their guidance, expertise, and support on the day, and to our committed Green Team students who continue to lead by example in caring for our environment.
