GUST celebrates 500th tree planting
The Grow Urban Shade Trees group has celebrated its 500th tree planting with an opportunity for residents to "meet the team".
Supporters were invited to "talk trees with us" at Sydney 2000 Park, next to Mingaletta on Sydney Rd, Umina, between 11am and 1pm on Sunday, February 28
Group member Ms Melissa Chandler said: "Being massive tree nerds, we really could talk trees all day long."
She said those who attended took the opportunity to talk about other topics as well as trees: pets, politics and sensitive development among them.
"The hot sun also joined in today reminding us, yet again, how delicious and vital the shade is."
"We are quite proud that we are starting to make an impact on the Peninsula," said Ms Chandler.
