Brentwood Tree Day

Brentwood celebrated the annual tree day on 28 July. 25 students from the Green Team, Brentwood staff, PFA and community members were involved in the various tree planting events on that day. 

During the morning session, the students worked with the volunteers from Friends of Scotchman’s Creek & Valley Reserve (FoSCVR) and the City of Monash to plant over 1600 saplings, including Goodenia ovata and Dianella longifolia, along the banks of the creek. Thanks to Tony and Sally from FoSCVR for providing us the opportunity to take part in this event. 

During the afternoon session, we were joined by our local MP, Mr. John Mullahy, Deputy Mayor of the City of Monash, Nicky Liu, staff from Waverley Toyota to plant over 100 native plants on our college grounds. Thanks to all the stakeholders involved. Special thanks to Cultiv.ate and Bunnings Warehouse for their donations. 

Annual Tree Days such as these help in offsetting Brentwood’s greenhouse gas emissions every year. https://www.brentwoodgreenteam.com.au/bremissions/project-brentwoods
