Protecting Rare and Threatened Flora
Cumberland City Council is taking vital steps to safeguard our unique and threatened native plant communities. By collecting seeds from both council reserves and private properties, we're preserving the genetic diversity of these precious species for generations to come.
We're also empowering local landowners to become environmental stewards through education and hands-on support, because every individual plant plays a role in protecting our ecological heritage.
Together, we can protect Cumberland’s natural legacy.
Free Native Plants
Residents are invited to register their interest in receiving free native plants, carefully propagated as part of our ongoing sustainability initiative, Creating Change: One Seed at a Time.
Successful participants will receive their plant in October of 2026.
Places are limited and registration is essential.
This project is proudly supported by the NSW Environmental Trust.
