As part of the recent Gardivalia Festival, several
members of the Friends of Drouin’s Trees conducted three walks around some of
the streets of Drouin, highlighting a few of our beautiful trees and some
historic locations.

| Under the Bill Kraft giant in Albert Rd |
Feedback was very positive - “As always it was a delight. Your hard
work and dedication you, Peter, Wes and all your other helpers is fantastic.
Imparting your knowledge on the local history, nature and wildlife of our gorgeous
town shows what great town spirit Drouin has to offer. Another amazing
effort and I cannot wait for the next walk.”- thanks Karla

| The shady ash in the Drouin Primary School grounds - what an asset! |
Consideration is being given to conducting
some future similar events. Drouin’s trees, parks, wetlands and reserves are
indeed worth showing off.

| Being addressed by Greg Hollis - BBS Environmental Sustainability Coordinator |
The three walks were inspired by the work
being done by the friends group who are producing a booklet that will contain
detailed descriptions, maps and photographs of twelve such walks around the
town. This project is being supported by the Baw Baw Shire and the Drouin and
District Community Bank®. Layout and artwork is being done by Helen TimburyDesign of Drouin and the free booklet is expected to be available in the first
half of next year.

Walking of course is good for the mind,
body and soul – why not appreciate some of Drouin’s beautiful places at the
same time?
