Tree planting session at Perisher

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) led Volunteer planting days are uniting the mountain community to tackle snowgum dieback. Over the past three years, NPWS volunteers have planted more than 3,000 snowgums across the Perisher Range, helping restore areas most affected by decline.

Join us in Perisher Valley to take action, plant a snowgum, and make a meaningful contribution to our alpine landscapes.

This is a free event.

1pm start. Meet at the Perisher Valley information centre.
