MORE THAN $620,000 TO GREEN THE SHIRE

Barren Sutherland Shire streets will benefit from over 2800 trees being planted by Sutherland Shire Council with a $620,000+ grant from the NSW government announced today.

 

 

It’s part of the Five Million Trees for Greater Sydney initiative – planting 5 million trees in Sydney by 2030 to increase Sydney’s tree canopy from 16% to 40%.

 

 

More tree canopy means more shade, cooler suburbs, more habitats for wildlife, lower carbon emissions, prettier suburbs and even higher property values.

 

 

Since April 2018, almost 100,000 trees have been planted across Greater Sydney under the Five Million Trees initiative.
