Make a change this holiday seasonDid you know Australians waste a staggering $630 million on unwanted gifts? Many of us have more than enough stuff, so why not consider experience gifts? Zoo memberships, subscriptions, Fringe vouchers, or movie tickets are great examples. Let's reduce waste to landfill by giving gifts that truly matter!
Future TreesHow do we improve the climate resilience of our urban forest? The Future Trees Project identifies new trees that we can plant in our streets and reserves. Future Trees project leader Stefan Caddy-Retalic recently collected seed from trees in central Australia to trial at the Waite Arboretum. City of Marion is participating in this great project.
