Yarra Council is planning to do some planting at Quarries Park!

As part of the Bringing Nature Back to Yarra Program and the World Environment Day 2025, a team from Council is planned to be out at Quarries Park on 5 June to do some planting on the eastern boundary. The planting will take 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’.
