What do Cape Jervis, Yankalilla, Glossy Black Cockatoos, Beer and Ashes Test Cricket have in common?
Hills and Fleurieu residents had some extra skin in the game when tuning into watch the Aussie Men’s Cricket that recently finished. Every four that was hit by an Australian batsman guaranteed the planting of four native plants at Cape Jervis Coastal Reserve - with some of the tubestock grown locally at the Fleurieu Coast Community Nursery at Yankalilla and seeds sourced by Blackwood Seeds.
In September, 4 Pines became the official beer partner of the Australian men’s cricket team for the 2021/2022 summer of cricket. As part of its commitment to Brew Better, 4 Pines has partnered with Landcare Australia to plant four trees for every four scored by the men’s national team across all three formats of the game this summer. The brewing company has committed to fund the planting of 44,444 native Australian trees, shrubs and groundcovers at the Cape Jervis Coastal Reserve.
The Hills and Fleurieu region is one of South Australia’s most ecologically diverse regions, home to half the state’s species of native plants and three-quarters of its native bird species. Planting 44,444 native trees, shrubs and groundcovers across 44 hectares in this strategic location will enhance landscape connectivity, improve biodiversity and provide long term habitat for threatened species including the Glossy Black Cockatoo.
