STUDENTS from Verney Road School donned gardening gloves recently to plant trees at Tassicker Reserve on Kittles Road as part of Planet Ark’s National Tree Day.
Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “National Tree Day is the perfect opportunity to continue the great work from the last few years and continue the efforts of One Tree Per Child.
“Many residents will be aware we have been busy planting in this reserve for the last few years, continuing our efforts this year will enable the reserve to be fully planted with trees. Once the reserve is completed we have identified new reserves to plant next year.
“Trees and plants provide great areas for residents to enjoy when out and about, or simply for aesthetic reasons.”
