The City of Casey is aiming to plant up to 12,000 native trees this National Tree Day at Grasmere Creek in Berwick.

The Grasmere Creek wetlands, located in Berwick’s Cardinia Creek Parklands North, were established in 2020 through a collaborative effort between Melbourne Water, Parks Victoria, and the City of Casey. This joint project aimed to enhance water quality, foster floodplain connectivity, and create valuable open spaces for local residents. The Cardinia Creek Catchment is renowned for its diverse flora and fauna, including rare and endangered species such as the Dwarf Galaxias fish and the platypus downstream in the Cardinia Creek.
