Meeting to discuss Tree Management Plan

The ACT Government has convened a meeting at 6.00pm on Monday 15 March in the Corroboree Park Hall.  It appears that the notices were not delivered to every house in the Corroboree Park area.  Letter reproduced below - click 'read more'.  The TaMS website provides some information which is not in the invitation:

A condition inventory of the trees in Corroboree Park and along the adjoining roads has been undertaken.
We want to share the results of this inventory with the community and work with them to develop a plan for future management of the trees in this important Park.
Corroboree Park is one of Canberra’s oldest parks and contains a mixture of remnant and planted trees. It is a Park that is widely used and cherished and the tree management plan will outline the measures needed to keep the trees healthy and looking good for future generations.
The tree management plan is expected to be completed by June this year.

Another significant tree cut down - Guardian Tree at Bulahdelah

The week before Christmas must be government tree-cutting season.  Perhaps it's the rush to get things done before the holidays.  Or maybe they think no-one will protest because we're all too busy...

George Villaflor kindly drew attention just before Christmas to the efforts to preserve the Guardian Tree on a hill near Bullahdelah in NSW.  The 25m eucalypt, described as an Aboriginal healing tree, was in the path of the Bulahdelah bypass being built by the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority. The next day, the tree had gone.
