read morePenrith City Council’s annual Trees for Dad community tree planting event returns for its fifth year on Sunday 3rd September at Peppermint Reserve in Kingswood.
Everyone is invited to plant trees and shrubs in honour and celebration of their dad, grandfather, uncle or father figure.
Penrith Mayor Tricia Hitchen was excited that the event was returning for its fifth year and encouraged residents to register to plant a tree to remember and celebrate their dad.
“Planting a tree is such a simple gesture to honour your dad, grandfather, uncle or a father figure in your life and can be a very positive and meaningful experience to share with family and friends on Father’s Day,” Mayor Hitchen said.
“When we held our successful Trees for Mum event on Mother’s Day this year, it was touching for the Bushcare team to hear beautiful stories from participants about why they had come to celebrate and honour their mum, and I hope that Trees for Dad continues to provide such a space to remember Dad.
“Trees for Dad is not only a great way to gift Dad something special, but it’s an opportunity to learn about our local environment and help restore our endangered bushland by planting native trees or shrubs.
“Council’s Bushcare team is looking forward to another great day planting trees and celebrating our local dads.”
Participants are encouraged to wear closed-toe shoes and a hat. Sunscreen will be available on the day.
Council’s nursery proudly provides the native trees and shrubs available for planting.
The event will be divided into 30-minute sessions, with the first session starting at 8.30am and the last session at 12pm.
Registrations are essential to join the day; Council’s Bushcare team will use the numbers to ensure they have enough trees and tags for participants to plant and write on. Register at penrith.city/events
