Trees are on the job for us, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, working to improve our local neighbourhoods, our wellbeing and helping to mitigate the effects of our changing climate.
Have your say on this plan – open for feedback 2 Feb-6 March
Well known local ecologist Colin Meurk has done a submission – you might like to use some of his thoughts, or support his submission when making your own
comprehensive submission, thanks!
For the time poor, here is Colin’s concluding paragraph:

In essence, the tree canopy cover targets should be fulfilled in the medium term, raised to a higher level – through time, and a strong indigenous component built in, while true climax wetlands and grasslands are discounted from the expectations and comparative statistics”.
