Transplanting seedlings – March 14
March 14 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL!
Help us to transplant seedlings for the future of koalas! Seeds planted in January have now germinated and need to be transplanted into individual pots to grow stronger.
.
During this activity, you will be given the chance to rotate through different tasks: washing pots, filling pots with soil & transplanting seedlings of our koala trees for the year: River Red Gums, Grey Box & Red Box gum trees.
.
Our team will look after them until they are big enough to be planted by our volunteers in the winter months (June, July & August) around a river near the You Yangs, so that Koala babies can have a home!
.
Join us on a special edition of our Koala Conservation Days and be prepared to get your hands dirty. Its fun and easy, and everyone can help – no matter how old you are!
.
Transplanting is very rewarding and requires no experience at all.
.
We allow 1.5 to 2 hours for this activity, which will be followed by a visit to the Brisbane Ranges or You Yangs with a guide to look for koalas.
