The region's first youth-led 'Plantathon' will be held 10am to 12.30pm on Thursday, September 28 at Gateway Lakes, with the goal of planting hundreds of locally native plants. "The Plantathon is a community planting event with a youthful twist, featuring music, games, eco pop quizzes, dance-offs, prizes and other elements the young organisers wanted to incorporate", said Jo Vincent, Wodonga Urban Landcare Network's facilitator. Sixteen year-old Devika Rangubhatla admitted she felt a bit 'icky' about a previous three-hour school planting activity, but enjoyed it more than expected.
