The Mosswood Free Tree Initiative 2026
Our aim is to increase the amount of native tree cover in SW Victoria by supplying devoted property owners with koala friendly, free native trees.
This will be our 3rd year of supplying trees to our local community and we map our plantings every year so properties that align with others to create wildlife corridors will be given priority. Past applicants can apply again for 2026, however priority will be for people who have sent before, after and progress photos.
This year’s trees will be available to collect from Koroit (info to come) and have been donated for our initiative via the Forestry Industry.
