Baw Baw Shire hosted a successful National
Tree day planting event in the Charles St Park in Warragul today.

The park is an extension of Brooker Park
and runs alongside Hazel Creek, the habitat for several important species. The revegetation
will help with water quality and improved biodiversity as well as enhancing the
aesthetics of the area for public use.

| Start 'em young. Perfect family activity. |
Young and and not so young took part, fostering
a positve attitude toward conservation in the community.

| 'Onya Ron. Thanks for a great day's work and pleasant company. |
National Tree Day is a Planet Ark
initiative. Here’s a link to a fun Planet Ark video on why planting a tree is a
valuable exercise in so many ways.
The following four links are summaries of
some Planet Ark research into the values of trees – well worth a read…
