Greater Western Water (GWW) and Pinkerton Landcare & Environment Group (PLEG) invited the public to join them on Sunday 28th August for a large scale tree planting day at Pinkerton Link.
This is located at GWW’s water treatment plant at Surbiton Park. A total of 28 people took up the invitation to plant trees, ranging from people from Bacchus Marsh, Melton and other places. We planted a total of 460 Grey Box trees!

Work started in early 2006 and some photos taken in June are presented here. Major changes have already been made since the start of the project. Left: Thistle-Gone Flat prior to restoration work (2005) |
| Some of the area to be recovered. Work is already progressing on the removal of Boxthorn and other environmental weeds.
Indeed a longer term project for the group - but one that must be done for future generations. |
