On June 5 2025, as part of the Bringing Nature Back to Yarra Program and the World Environment Day 2025, a team from Yarra City Council did some planting on the eastern boundary of Quarries Park.

The planting takes up approximately 1,569 square metres as shown in the images below.

The Bringing Nature Back to Yarra Program aims to assist in mitigating the impacts of climate change and healing country by reducing bushland fragmentation and improving habitat connectivity. 

The program creates accessible, healthy, resilient, and diverse ecosystems in urban areas that reinforce Yarra’s commitment to managing and protecting the Birrarung, its parklands and tributaries as ‘one living and integrated natural entity’.
