BERG Mt Martha

16/07/2026

The classic quote is: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Save the Date, 27th July, and support Sunshine Reserve Mount Martha. Lots of fun and a wonderful chance to meet other community members and Friends Group volunteers, plus plant now!

🌿 Preparations are well underway...

The countdown is on!

Behind the scenes, our volunteers have been busy preparing Sunshine Reserve for National Tree Day. From organising hundreds of native plants to getting the site ready, it's all coming together.

Soon, this space will be filled with neighbours, families and friends, all working together to create new habitat for local wildlife.

If you've been thinking about coming along, we'd love to have you.

📅 Sunday 26 July
🕘 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
📍 End of Sunview Way, Mount Martha (off Waterview Drive)

Bring your sturdy boots, bring a friend, and come be part of something that will grow for generations.

We can't wait to see you there. 💚
