Branching Out

Trees and vegetation play an important role in the liveability of our neighbourhoods, wellbeing of our residents and biodiversity of our natural environment.  

We want to work with our community to retain and plant more trees on private land. 

Join the City of Swan to explore how you can retain and plant more greenery by participating in one or more of the six Branching Out workshops throughout April and May 2025. 

Each workshop has a door prize worth $100, plus if you attend four or more workshops you will go into the draw to win a one-hour garden consultation with Neville Passmore.

The winner will be drawn following the completion of the post-series survey in June 2025.
