Town Greening Program 2025
Free Native Plants! Tube Stock Giveaway
As part of our ongoing greening initiatives, the Shire of York is excited to announce a new Tube Stock Giveaway for residents this winter.
We will be offering residents the opportunity to collect up to eight native tube stock plants to help green their gardens and support local biodiversity. A diverse selection of native species will be available including ground covers, shrubs and a range of tree sizes.
Plant pick-up will be held at the York Town Hall on Saturday 26th July, just in time for National Tree Day. Plants will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
We thank the York Wildflower Society for their collaboration and support in developing this program.
Town Greening Program 2024
The Shire of York was pleased to deliver a Street Greening Pilot Program in 2024.
This program has been established in response to the 2020 – 2030 Strategic Community Plan, Priority 4.2, ‘Enhance Streetscapes with a focus on trees’.
The Pilot Street Greening Program was launched in March 2024. Residents were invited to apply for native plants to be placed on their street verges. This initiative has now successfully concluded, with participants receiving their shrubs or trees.
The outcomes from this pilot program will be used to shape future town greening programs in the Shire of York.
