A popular spot beside Sunbury’s Kismet Creek will be spruced up as part of World Environment Day this Sunday.

People are urged to put on some old clothes, a hat and working shoes to join in Sunbury Landcare and Hume council’s sustainability taskforce for a planting day near the corner of Elizabeth Drive and Prendergast Road from 10am.

Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou promises a pizza lunch for those helping to support the creek’s ecosystem.

‘‘This part of Kismet Creek is a popular spot, and we need volunteers to help plant indigenous species that have adapted to the local climate and soils, and which will nuture the area’s native creatures,’’ she said.
