PLEG Planting Day at the Werribee River

‘Help us restore the dramatic Werribee River Volcanic Gorge at Pinkerton Flat!’

 

Pinkerton Landcare and Environment Group (PLEG) will be planting at Pinkerton Flat on the Werribee River, besides Western Water Treatment Plant.

Restoration works are funded by Vision for Werribee Plains (DSE), Western Water and Melbourne Water; at one of the most dramatically scenic sites on the river.

As well as planting beside the river you will have the opportunity to view this section of the Werribee River volcanic gorge. Everyone is welcome.

Find us at: Western Water Treatment Plant, Butlers Road, Strathtulloh.

There will be signs along the route into the farm on the day.

  • Turn into Butlers Road, through the main WW entrance gate
  • Follow Butlers Road through the working farm onto a gravel track, for a distance of about ~ 2 km,
  • then take the first right hand turn over an irrigation channel, and past the hay shed on the right,
  • The track then passes through a gate, and gradually descends down the escarpment to Pinkerton Flat.
  • Park on the river flat.
