The Lennox Head tree planting day has been taking place since 2003 and this year is no exception. Organised to coincide with World Environment Day the Lennox Head community are being called together once again at the iconic Lennox headland to restore the rainforest community that was once present on the headland pre-1800’s.

GeoLINK and Ballina Shire Council have hosted the tree planting day for 16 years and are inviting the local community ‘to take positive environmental action by joining us for this year’s event to help plant some trees on Friday 8 June from 9am till 12,’ said Catherine Jost from Ballina Council.

Trees, mulch, water and some planting tools will be supplied by Ballina Shire Council. The Lennox business community and volunteer groups have generously donated a barbecue and refreshments.

Everyone is advised to bring sun protection, closed footwear and gardening gloves and tools (if owned), some tools will be provided.  Head to the top of Lennox headland and follow the signs to the planting site.
