City of Newcastle is encouraging Novocastrians to help improve Newcastle's treasured green spaces by joining forces with Landcare groups and school students to plant more than 15,000 native grasses, shrubs and trees.
Starting at Northcott Park in Shortland, those involved in the project on Tuesday had the chance to connect with nature and become stewards of their environment by planting native species and conducting a survey of Crawchie Creek alongside Landcare volunteers and council scientists.
