Free tree giveaway (https://savingourtrees.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/illawarra-flame-tree-marrickville-2-photo-by-saving-our-trees.jpg?w=490&h=368) SAVING OUR TREES – Marrickville municipality Great news & a first for ex-Marrickville Council, now the Inner West Council. On National Tree Day, Sunday 31st July 2016, Council will be giving away free trees so that we can be a part of increasing our urban forest canopy & all the associated benefits trees bring to both the community & the wildlife. Unfortunately, Council does not say how many trees will be in the giveaway, so if you want one, I recommend getting there earlier rather than later. Tree species available are – Sydney Red Gum/ Smooth Barked Apple (Angophora crostata) Coast Banksia (Banksia integrifolia) Old Man Banksia (Banksia serrata) Illawarra Flame Tree (Brachychiton acerifolius) Bottlebrush (Callistemon viminallis cv) Black Tea-Tree (Melaleuca bracteata) Lemon-scented Tea Tree (Leptospermum petersonii) Riberry (Syzygium leuhmannii) Information about these trees can be found in Council’s pdf document, which includes photos – http://www.marrickville.nsw.gov.au/Global/Environment/In%20your%20community/Tree%20management/treegiveaway/treespecies.pdf Council staff will be available to talk about the trees available to help you decide which species is best for your property & provide planting & caring advice. WHEN: National Tree Day – Sunday 31st July 2016. WHERE: The car park at the back of the Debbie and Abbey Borgia Centre in Steel Park Marrickville South. Council says, “The trees will be advanced sized stock (25 litre bags/300mm pots), so please make sure you can accommodate this size tree when picking it up.” TIME: 10am – 1pm. IMPORTANT: There is a limit of one tree per household. You will need to provide proof of your address in the form of a Council rates notice or Drivers Licence.
