After The Storm - Less Trees - Any Replacements - 'Whyilovemountdruitt' Face Book Group'

Do you remember the storm in January this year? I do! Click here for previous posts

So whilst trees were chopped, removed and in some cases, stumped left in the ground. Little has been done to replace at this stage trees, removed from bushland, parks and reserve areas. Unless, there is the thought that replacing them could cause more damage to the community, if  another natural disaster happens and the new  trees are fully grown.  I don't know how the parks and reserves management of Blacktown City Council operates, yet I sure there is  thought about regenerating  plants and trees , that will assist out local birds and animals.


Her is a post from Ron:


It would appear when you wish to have a tree removed from your premises you need council approval, Alas if your the council, remove as many trees as you want, no problem. After the big storm earlier this year some trees did need to come down , but this many ? Cockatoos and Galahs are just two native birds that nest in hollow trunks. I know of two of these trees that had nests. I wonder if any one checked ?

We have a survey to complete for the community, on after the storm tree removal and replaced? You find this on the bottom of  our website, please complete it  to provide feed back!
