Clean Up Australia Day - Diamond Creek Trail walk
Description
Join us on Sunday 2nd March at 9:45am to make a difference, help the environment and assist in the clean-up of the Diamond Creek trail and our Eltham North Community Precinct.
How will the event run?
We will begin our event at Edendale Farm (Ironbark shelter-near the northern entrance gate) at 9:45am for site registration, safety briefing and bag collection. At approximately 10am we will head down to the Diamond Creek Trail and begin our clean-up event. We will move along the trail picking up rubbish from Edendale Farm, over the bridge, and progress to Eltham North Adventure Playground. Once we have cleaned up the playground we will continue along the Diamond Creek Trail, and head up close to Laurel Hill Drive exit before turning around and heading back to Edendale Farm and the Ironbark shelter. We will finish with morning tea at Edendale Farm.
What do I bring?
If you have tongs/litter pick up tools or gloves please bring them on the day, along with your weather dependent clothing like a hat. If you don't, that is fine as we will have plenty of spare gloves, tongs and rubbish bags ready to go.
We ask participants to please register interest so that we can cater for the morning tea after the clean-up event.
