Thanks to the energy and teamwork of volunteers from a range of local businesses, we planted 2,900 native seedlings, restoring the landscape at Guildford Meadows, creating a biodiverse habitat and climate-resilient ecosystem.
Huge thanks to the teams from Seequent, HFW and NTT. We were also joined by representatives of five Quest hotels in the Perth area, which are all members of the Hotels for Trees program.
Our Impact
- 2,900 trees planted in one day
- Supporting 23 native species through restoration of biodiverse ecosystems
- Building habitat for a wide range of birds, frogs and pollinators
- Contributing to urban canopy in Perth which will play an important part in reducing local temperatures
Located on the banks of the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River) in Caversham, the Mandoon Moitch (Guildford Meadows) restoration project contains a significant remnant wetland, once surrounded by riparian vegetation and a Eucalyptus rudis (Moitch / Flooded Gum) Woodland which was cleared in the 1930s.
Now a part of Whiteman Park, it provides viable habitat for threatened and at-risk native animal species, and is home to significant, registered cultural sites of the local Noongar people.
Mandoon Moitch is considered an area of significant environmental importance, due to its impressive population of native flora and fauna, and that its water flows from the Gnangara Water Mound.
Since 2016, volunteers have planted over 100,000 trees on this key restoration site.
Encouraging local community members to engage in nature-based solutions helps to educate everyone about the importance of trees, and empower individuals to overcome eco anxiety about the future health of our planet.
