1500 new trees for Caboolture
MARKWELL Road, Caboolture, received a green boost on July 27, as locals gathered for a community planting as part of National Tree Day.
The event saw 1,500 native trees and shrubs planted, creating new habitat for wildlife, improving the environment, and leaving a legacy for future generations.
Division 12 Councillor, Tony Latter joined in with the volunteers, adding it was “great to get hands in the dirt for National Tree Day.”
“A big thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and got involved – it’s these simple acts that make a big impact,” he said in a statement.
Mayor Peter Flannery said National Tree Day was a great way for people to do something positive for their environment, while learning more about the natural spaces around them.
“Protecting our green spaces is something we all have a role in, and National Tree Day is a fantastic opportunity to do that in a hands-on,” he said.
“Whether you’re planting one tree or ten, you’re helping to strengthen local ecosystems and shape the future of our natural environment.
“We’re committed to going green as we grow, and that means creating opportunities for the community to get involved in events and initiatives that protect and improve our City’s environment.”
Trees were also planted at Sir Dapper Drive Park in Burpengary, and at John H Walker Reserve in Warner.
