The volunteers of Ballina Community Clean Up group are working with communities across Ballina to plant one native broadleaf tree for each person in the town by the end of 2023.

With a population of over 10,000, this is an ambitious project, which will leave a lasting legacy for the town. The group has already begun sourcing and planting trees for Plant A Tree for 2023, and as of March 2023 has planted over 3,000 trees in Mount Falcon Estate, Hollister, and the Bishop’s Palace.

How can I get involved?

If you would like to offer a site for tree planting, or would like to sponsor some trees, contact Ballina Community Cleanup Group by email to ballinacleanup@gmail.com, or message the group on Facebook.
