I received this letter from Jon Stanhope on Thursday, but hadn't figured out until now how to post a .pdf on the blog.

Residents meet in the park to discuss management of trees, 5 December 2009
A place to share news and information about the Corroboree Park area of Ainslie.
Residents meet in the park to discuss management of trees, 5 December 2009
About this blog
This blog has been created as a place for interested people to communicate about protecting the unique values of the Corroboree Park area in the South-East part of Ainslie. It has grown out of the active work of several residents who started to ask questions about why apparently sound mature trees around Corroboree Park had been felled as a risk to public safety. They also wondered what the ACT Government was doing to protect the 200- to 300-year old heritage-listed Corroboree Tree, which recently seemed to be in decline. Finally, a decision to cut down a 40 metre high eucalypt seemed to be taken without considering all possible issues and solutions. At the heart of our concerns is the feeling that the heritage and natural values of our neighbourhood are not being properly managed.
