Lavenders Bridge community tree planting project
A group of community members and organisations have come together since April 2024 to regenerate a key section of the riverbank at Lavenders Bridge and the Bellingen Skatepark.
Community members, community groups, Council and businesses have come together to plant over 1,200 trees and plants and regenerate a 150m stretch of the riverbank on the Bellinger River.

Thank you so much to the people who have worked together to make this project happen for the community!
We are looking to build a cohort of ‘helpers’ for our community tree planting project - people who attend events at the site and support the planting by planting, weeding, mulching and watering the trees. Helpers may also support as event volunteers - at stalls, on the bbq or with setup and/or pack down.
Please register here so that we can contact you about future events and projects.
