Foreshore and Reserve Revegetation

Indigenous flora is precious and unique in its biodiversity and fragility.

Earthcare St Kilda has been involved in the establishment and maintenance of a number of indigenous revegetation projects around the City of Port Phillip since 1987.

Reserve and Foreshore Planting Days

Planting at Elwood Foreshore

During the winter months, volunteers from Earthcare St Kilda spend a Sunday morning working to remove weeds and replant native species of flora at important heritage sites around the City of Port Phillip.

Rangers from the City of Port Phillip and Citywide work with Earthcare St Kilda to plan planting locations, and provide equipment and guidance on the day. Native seedlings used are sourced from Westgate Biodiversity: Bili Nursery & Landcare.

Volunteers should bring gardening gloves and dress appropriately for the forecast weather. All equipment and seedlings will be provided.

We also support National Tree Day.
