Notable Tree Project

THE Heritage Tree Walk is a community conservation and preservation project initiated by R & R.

The group has been granted joint funding by the Maroochy Council to locate and identify heritage value trees of all species within Palmwoods. Ultimately this will provide a series of self guided walks to the community and preserve our significant trees for future generations.

Completion will coincide with the millennium celebrations and official opening of Federation Park. A spokesman reports: At this stage we are compiling a list to be submitted to Ann Moran (local botanist) for verification as trees will be preserved under local law, and other organisations. Your help in locating what you feel is a tree worth saving would be appreciated. Some trees will no doubt be on private land and the situation will be that not all trees will be included in the walk but may still be preserved. Trees that are included will be indicated on plaques located in the two main parks Kolora and Federation. Individual trees will be placard with information and a associating number. Each site will be maintained through support of Junior Land Care Palmwoods.
