Tree Planting and Replacement Program
About this project
Indigo Shire is known for its beautiful natural environment, in particular its wonderful array of trees, a number of which have heritage significance.
This year, we mapped the planting of 700 trees across the Shire (detailed below) and in addition to those, we had more on order to fulfil customer requests, replace removed trees and fill single gaps.
Why was this project undertaken?
To ensure our beautiful natural landscapes continue to provide health and ecological benefits for generations to come, Council undertakes an annual tree planting and replacement program with the works being carried out in the winter months to ensure the new trees get their best start to life as possible once planted.
As well as enhancing air quality, trees improve the soil, water and the ecological condition of an area. The establishment of plant species improves ecosystems and creates habitats for birds, insects and animals.
What happened and when?
The tree planting and replacement program commenced in late June with works completed in mid to late August.
