Planting day at Potato Point!

A massive thank you to all the volunteers that have given their time so far, together we’ve planted 7,000 out of the 32,000 trees this year! We have another planting day coming up at Potato Point!

We’re pretty excited to be celebrating the humble potato at our upcoming Potato Point public planting day! The precious potato pleases people by the dozens, and we hope it will pull you to plant with us! We’ll have potato-based spot prizes on offer for the plucky punter! Hot chips will of course be provided for everyone! If you are pumped by this proposal we will see you at Potato Point!
