Chief Minister Stanhope has announced he’s getting more street trees planted around the place.
“During November, the ACT Government will replant 700 street trees using a mix of natives and deciduous exotic trees,” Mr Stanhope said. “The drought-tolerant species will be selected to match the surrounding landscape and include Ornamental pears, Oaks, Ash trees and Eucalypts.
“A planting contractor will care for the new trees for four months, after which they will be maintained by the Department of Territory and Municipal Services.
“The community is encouraged to be vigilant in reporting any vandalism of the new trees to Canberra Connect on 13 22 81,” Mr Stanhope said.
They plan to plant another 800 trees in Autumn 2011.
