Tree group celebrates planting of 1000th tree
The Grow Urban Shade Trees team and volunteers have finally celebrated their planting of 1000 trees on the Peninsula.
The group had been waiting on some sunshine to celebrate at a planting project.
However, after two cancelled planting days, the team decided instead to get together to cut a cake to celebrate its 1000th tree for the Peninsula.
The group recognised the community support in "taking on these trees to add canopy, reduce urban heat and provide wildlife corridors".
The group also acknowledged the sponsorship of Ettalong Community Bank which has enabled the group to purchase advanced trees over the past four years.
