The new initiative gives residents the chance to sponsor the planting of a tree with the option of adding a customised plaque to their ‘adopted’ tree, which may be in commemoration message or on behalf family members and friends.
Adopters can choose the size of tree from a selection of species which are more resilient to the destructive borer.
Trees can be planted at Lake Claremont, Claremont Park, John and Jean Mulder Park, or on Stirling Road near the Scotch College playing fields.
The program will take place in addition to the Town’s extensive tree planting efforts that occurred throughout the winter planting season from 2024. This initiative also aims to improve canopy and cooling effects.
