You are invited by the Sunshine Coast Council and Make it Stop Committee to take part in this very special tree planting event, in an act of solidarity and support for victims of domestic and family violence during the international campaign - 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.

Everyone is invited to come along to help raise awareness of domestic and family violence in our community. The 350 native trees and shrubs planted will act as a lasting legacy to acknowledge victims of domestic and family violence on the Sunshine Coast, as well as create a habitat for our wildlife.



Participants do not need any experience in planting, there will be helpful staff on hand to guide you. Drop in for a half hour, stay for the whole event time, plant one plant or plant many … it’s totally up to you! You will also help to guard and water them.
