Hawkesbury City Council gives free native plants to residents with bushfire-affected properties

Over the past few months, Council has provided 910 free plants to Hawkesbury residents with bushfire-affected properties, helping them kickstart the long process of adding fresh vegetation to burnt land.

Each property owner was able to take home up to 10 free plants from Hawkesbury Community Nursery, helping them replace some of the native vegetation on their properties.

Plants choices included a selection of ground covers, shrubs and trees suitable for various property locations.

Many residents took the chance to green up their homes, including Lisa Wyatt from Central Macdonald, who was delighted to meet Hawkesbury Community Nursery Officer Jutta Hamilton to collect her 10 assorted natives.
