The Adopt a Street Tree program is open to all towns across the Western Downs, withΒ free registration.Β The program allows the community to aid in beautifying the region by giving residents the opportunity to sponsor a tree, which will be planted in front of their home for them to care for.
Throughout this program, the WDRC aims to create valued, welcoming and connected community spaces right across the region.
Council Spokesperson for Parks, Open Spaces and Cemeteries Councillor Carolyn Tillman said it was great to see the community get on board and really champion the planting of trees in their streets.
βIβve heard lots of lovely comments about how all the towns are looking beautiful and adding to the welcoming feel of our communities,β she said.
βOver Christmas, I heard from visitors to Dalby who were impressed with the new look of Dalby and all the trees lining the streets. Itβs been fantastic to see our residents taking pride in their streets and jumping on board with the Adopt a Street Tree program.
βOur Parks and Open Spaces crew is doing an amazing job around all our towns and our communities are really appreciating their efforts. The crew have received many compliments on how beautiful our towns are.
βThis year weβre encouraging our smaller communities to get involved in the program. Wouldnβt it be something special to see all our townsβ streets, big and small, lined with trees.β
Registrations for this yearβs planting program are now open and will close Friday 16 March.
