Seeds of Hope community planting
Sunshine Coast Council and Make it Stop Committee invite you to take part in this special tree planting event in an act of solidarity and support for victims of domestic and family violence during the international campaign – 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.
Everyone is welcome to help raise public awareness of domestic and family violence in our community. The 350 native trees and shrubs planted will act as a lasting legacy to acknowledge victims of domestic and family violence on the Sunshine Coast as well as creating habitat for our wildlife.
Experience in planting is not necessary. We will have helpful staff to show you how. Drop in, stay for the whole time, plant 1 or plant many, it’s up to you. You will also help to guard and water them.
