ACF Macnamara in partnership with Westgate Biodiversity are holding our first morning planting activity for the New Year. Come along and help take care of the beautiful Westgate Park, Port Melbourne. This is a family friendly event.
Westgate Park is a nature reserve and for this reason we ask that you please leave your family dog at home for this event.

What to Bring
Don’t forget a hat, sunscreen, water bottle and gardening gloves (extra gloves will be available). We ask that children over 12 years and adults please bring a face mask. This would only be required to be worn if a situation arises where social distancing is not possible.
