If you’ve been busy greening Greater Geraldton by planting seedlings, shrubs and trees the City is calling you register them with the Million Trees Project.
大众彩票 Mayor Jerry Clune said planting more trees and shrubs has been a community aspiration for 15 years.
“In 2010 the City held a series of World Cafés where the community told us greening the City region by 2029 would make it a better place to live so we launched the Million Trees Project and have been keeping track of plantings ever since,” he said.
“Since then, more than 563,000 plantings, which include beautifying our yards and large scale property revegetation projects, have been registered with the project.
“These plantings have already greatly improved how Greater Geraldton looks, and over time will help cool the City and reduce our carbon footprint, all of which benefits current and future generations.
“However, if we are going to meet the 1 million target by 2029 we need everyone who has planted trees and seedlings in the last 15 years to register them if you haven’t already done so.
“Help us make every tree count,” Mayor Clune finished.
Every year, up to 25,000 local providence seedlings and trees grown by Community Nursery volunteers are planted in our parks, bushland and coastal reserves by community groups, schools, local business and City staff. All of which are counted towards the project.
All native and non-native perennial plants (plants that live more than two years) including trees that produce food and are decorative can be registered.
Plantings can be registered online on the City’s website here or by calling 9956 6600.

This project falls under the Environment pillar of the City’s Strategic Community Plan and reflects the organisation’s commitment to a built and natural environment that is responsive to community aspirations.
