Efforts for the day will support ongoing revegetation works around Lake Pillans Wetland, which is an important site for birds and wildlife in the area, and will go towards the National Tree Day planting count.

Our creeks are essential to provide habitat and corridors for the birds and wildlife - they also help to make it nice place for people to live! The community planting day is supported by Lithgow Oberon Landcare Association, Lithgow City Council and Local Land Services. All community members are invited to come along to show we care about our local creek and to plant some native plants followed by a sausage sizzle lunch.
