A PARTNERSHIP between Be Natural and Landcare Australia will result in the restorations of environmental sites across Sydney.
The Sydney Harbour volunteer groups and the Foundation of National Parks and Wildlife will plant 1000 seedlings across various Sydney Harbour Park sites.
The pledge to plant the tree seedlings was inspired by Be Natural's Day of Change, where thousands of Australians made pledges to live more naturally.
Susanna Bradshaw from the Foundation of National Parks and Wildlife said the partnership between Landcare Australia and Be Natural would assist with the ongoing efforts to ensure Sydney parklands continued to thrive.
"The foundation is working in partnership with Landcare Australia to deliver a volunteering program for parks," she said.
Ms Bradshaw said Goat Island would be one of the locations where the seedlings would be planted.
"I think given that Sydney Harbour National Parks are surrounded by urban areas it's really important they are supported and maintained," she said.
"There are a number of different threats facing these parks, one of them is the invasion from weeds, so groups conduct bush regeneration work and as part of that process they get involved in actual tree planting to help create a diverse habitat for wildlife."
