Get ready for a long weekend of connection, workshops, live music, camping, and the heartwarming act of planting 40 000 native seedlings! 

This year, we are welcomed on the property of Paul and Fran, where we will plant a mix of 20 species, across 13.7 hectares.

Located close to the townsite of Wagin, this 60 hectare property sits on the edge of a network of salt lakes that make up the Blackwood River Catchment. Here, like many parts of the Wheatbelt, the floodplain between Gundaring Lake Nature Reserve and Parkeyerring Nature Reserve is becoming increasingly degraded due to historic clearing, poor land management and increasing salinity. Small remnant stands of York Gum, Wandoo, Sheoak and Melaleuca are being replaced by samphire and bare salt scalded land. 

The landholders wish to restore their property back to native bush to reverse this process, increasing biodiversity, improve soil health and enhance amenity.

This is your chance to be part of a meaningful restoration project established in tight partnership with our long term partner Trillion Trees Australia, who are growing the trees in their nursery.

If you have been our events before, this one will have a “back to the roots” vibe, and if it’s your first time, be ready for the full Activate experience.
