Welcome from the Friends of Lane Cove National Park Inc.

We are a group of people enthusiastic about conservation in our local National Park in suburban Sydney, Australia. Friends of Lane Cove National Park Inc. don't have to live locally.

National Tree Day 28th July 2013

Friends of Lane Cove National Park are having a National Tree day event designed to help restore and enhance the wild life corridor along the Lane Cove River. It continues the great work that was carried out on last year’s National Tree day.

It is a good opportunity to learn more about the flora and fauna of LCNP. The site has easy access from River Avenue and after the planting Friends of LCNP will be providing a free sausage sizzle to thank the volunteers.

The site is situated at the far end of River Avenue, which is opposite the Delhi Road entrance to Lane Cove National Park. Planting from 11.00 am.

Register on the National Tree Day site http://treeday.planetark.org, or for more information call Tony at 0407 194 664.
