Do your bit for the environment and help Care for Hedland to blitz the streets of Hedland!
Nominate a team to join in the blitz! Teams can be made up of community or school groups, businesses or a bunch of mates. Teams (minimum of five) can use any equipment at their disposal to “blitz” (remove rubbish, mow verges, tidy edges) their street. The winning team will not only receive bragging rights but also a trophy and medals!
Remember to wear closed in shoes and drink plenty of water on the day, as the competition will be HOT!
Date: TBC (check our Facebook page for updates!)
Have you tried to get a cutting of a favourite plant from a friend but never manage to keep it alive? Or are you struggling to prune your trees like a pro?
