The region is being urged to get their hands dirty at the Seaview Grassland Nature Reserve.
A community planting day is set for June 4 between 1.30 and 3.30, with native grasses and wildflowers set to be planted at the endangered area.
Environment and Circular Economy portfolio chair Councillor Elise Wilkinson says the work is essential for the region.
“Seaview Grassland Nature Reserve is one of Geelong’s hidden ecological treasures,” she said.
“Restoring it protects native species and strengthens our appreciation for the natural landscapes that make our region unique.
“The planting day is a chance for residents to roll up their sleeves, meet others and make a real difference in keeping our environment healthy.”
Council says the planting is part of a broader project to rehabilitate one of our region’s last remaining examples of Plains Grassland, an endangered ecological community with less than five per cent remaining.
