Event Description: 🖤💛❤️Join us at Prince of Wales Bay to celebrate NAIDOC week!

We'll start the event with a smoking ceremony performed by Trish from Nita Education, which will connect us with the land and with the ancient culture that cherishes and looks after the timtumili minanya/Derwent River).

Afterwards, we'll be planting 200 native plants along the foreshore, to build back habitat at this site and increase biodiversity.

If you haven't planted with us before, you are in for a treat - it's so rewarding and fun to plant, and it won't just put a smile on your face, it helps the environment!

Help us rebuild a neglected foreshore along the timtumili minanya/Derwent River, and have a lovely morning out with us!

👖Please ensure you wear long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, a hat and fully enclosed shoes. Please also bring your own drinking water.
