Alba Tree celebrated at opening event
Pearl Beach Arboretum will celebrate its Alba Tree art project at the opening event from 10am on National Tree Day, July 27.
"Australia's largest annual nature care event, National Tree Day, encourages people to reflect on the role of trees in our lives, not just through planting, but by honouring, protecting, and reconnecting with the natural world, said Arboretum president Ms Mary Knaggs.
"The Alba Tree is a large steel structure, enhanced with driftwood.
"It is brought to life with handcrafted clay leaves made by members of the community.
"The project is inspired by the word Alba, meaning dawn.
"Like the first light of day, it represents growth, change, and transformation.
"It will come to life over a two-week period as it is built and displayed in the heart of The Arboretum at Pearl Beach." Bookings for places at the opening event, which will include music and refreshments, may be made via a link on the Arboretum's website.
