Indigo Shire is known for its beautiful natural environment, in particular its wonderful array of trees, a number of which have heritage significance.
So far this year, we've planted almost 100 trees across the Shire, with over 150 more to still be planted before the end of the season. If time permits, we'll aim to plant a number more, mostly around our parks and gardens.
To ensure our beautiful natural landscapes continue to provide health and ecological benefits for generations to come, Council undertakes an annual tree planting and replacement program with the works being carried out in the winter months to ensure the new trees get their best start to life as possible once planted.
As well as enhancing air quality, trees improve the soil, water and the ecological condition of an area. The establishment of plant species improves ecosystems and creates habitats for birds, insects and animals.
The tree planting and replacement program is well advanced with works expected to be completed around mid to late August.
There is no major impact to the community.
