2023 National Tree Day moved to the entry of the Scribbly Gum Track beside the Scout Hall and the planting team were greeted by a Koala Phascolarctos cinereus sleeping in tree at the entry.

.

Eight hundred and thirty local native trees, shrubs, vines and grasses were planted including more Koala food trees.

Fifty two volunteers contributed one hundred and eighty nine hours of labour restoring another parcel of special Koala habitat. A special thanks to Brisbane First Chinese Scouts who have helped with National Tree Day since 2018.

A special surprise was finding a Grey Butcherbird Cracticus torquatus nesting in the planting site.
