July 31 was National Tree Day and a tree will be planted at Merici next week to celebrate Australia’s largest community tree-planting and nature care event.
Trees are an essential part of Australia’s biodiversity.
We need urgently to plant more trees as part of a broader plan for climate action. Discontinuing land clearing is also essential.
So, can you plant a native tree or shrub that is naturally occurring in your area?
Among the many benefits, you may attract more bird visitors!
