Barwon Water is partnering with Springdale Community Nursery and Bellarine Catchment Network (BCN) to spread some Christmas cheer to those in need this month.

As part of the bush regeneration process at Murrk Ngubitj Yarram Yaluk (formerly Bellarine Basin), pine trees have been harvested and donated to Foodbank share with people who might not have been able to afford one this year.

The festive initiative saw 40 trees provided last week to the local Foodbank to distribute.
