Community Tree Planting: Simes Bridge

Community Event

16 May 2026 Once Only Event

Come together for a community tree planting day!

Bring the kids and be part of regenerating Lismore’s endangered rainforests. With the support of experienced bush regenerators and ever-caring Landcare volunteers, as a group you will be planting over 500 native rainforest plants on the bank of the Wilsons River. Holes will be dug, trees and mulch placed out ready- all you need to do is plant! Your hands-on support will help restore critical floodplain and riparian habitat, improve biodiversity, extend existing vegetation and protect threatened species, and build a greener, more flood-resilient city- right way, river way. This planting builds on established rainforest that was planted by Wilsons River Landcare in the early 1990s.

Please arrive for a Welcome To Country at 10am, and sign on at arrival.

This site is located on Widjabul Wia-bal Country. This site is not readily wheelchair accessible, and includes some walking over uneven ground.
