The public is being invited to take part in the planting of the Facebook Forest at the Omarunui Landfill.

Hastings District Council’s Sus’d project has sourced 1500 native trees which will be planted by the public on a part of the landfill site which will not be used for rubbish disposal.

Sus’d ambassador and Hastings District Councillor Tania Kerr says “It is important that the public is involved right from the beginning of the creation of the Facebook Forest. This is the start of a long term project which will help beautify the landscape and attract bird life to the area.”
