1,640 native rainforest trees to be planted following Water Night!

Rous County Council
Thank you to everyone who participated in Water Night during National Water Week in October.
Across our region, 164 people joined in Water Night – practicing ‘water mindfulness’ by not using taps, showers and running water for 24 hours. It was certainly a challenge and a clear wake-up to how often we reach for our taps and how subconsciously we do it.
Honouring our Water Night commitment, Rous County Council are proud to announce that we will be planting 10 trees for each registered participant, a total of 1,640 native rainforest trees at Fosters Spur at Rocky Creek Dam. This planting is scheduled for March next year.
This important work will enhance nearly 40 years of rainforest regeneration at Rocky Creek Dam, our main drinking water source which is surrounded by the ancient Gondwana Rainforests of Nightcap National Park.
Thank you to event partners, Smart Approved WaterMark and Byron Shire Council Ballina Shire Council Lismore City Council and Richmond Valley Council for supporting Water Night 2021.
