Brunswick Valley Landcare say that ‘With heavy hearts’ they are postponing this year’s 15th annual Mother’s Day community tree planting, scheduled for Sunday 10 May.
They say, ‘It’s ironic with the sun finally starting to shine again! These last few weeks of rain, with a little more yet to come, has meant that important site prep work and delivery of materials essential for another successful planting have simply not been possible’.
‘Don’t worry mum’s – we won’t leave you hanging – we’ve got eyes on the radar like hawks. Still wishing you all a Happy Mother’s Day for Sunday. On the bright side, we’ll celebrate you again as soon as we can make it work to come together and plant trees with the usual fun and style.
‘We’ll announce a new date asap so keep your eyes on The Echo and BVL socials and your inbox. BVL extends sincere thanks to our community of supporters’.
