Hi Martin

Thank you for your words of support

I have just republished the tree planting event at  
https://www.parkconnect.vic.gov.au/Volunteer/public-planned-activity/?id=c38ff798-914c-ea11-b698-0003ff6f5db4

We have 9 registered so far, still registered from this year's  
canceled planting. I may alter the exact date, those registered will  
get emailed notification of changes.
