Cathy Freeman helps with Mitre 10 Junior Landcare Projects

Thanks to a national environmental improvement initiative supported by Mitre 10 and Landcare, Cathy Freeman recently visited waterways projects across the country to kick off her role as the official Ambassador for the Mitre 10/Landcare Caring for Our Waterways Project.

In a whirlwind week of planting, weeding, litter collection and water turbidity testing, Freeman met local community members and helped them repair waterways damage.

The tour commenced at Melbourne’s Merri Creek where Cathy donned waders and removed litter from the damaged waterway. From there she travelled to Queensland to visit the Oxley Creek waterways project and joined forces with Landcare volunteers, local schools and Mitre 10 staff to start valuable work on the site.

Then it was off to South Australia’s Amber’s Gully in Athelstone where Mitre 10 staff and community members were hard at work replanting native vegetation at the intermittent stream.

"I got involved in this new project because it’s about preserving the future and fostering community spirit. It’s just so great to see everyone here working together to care for our land, our home," Cathy said.
