River Red Gum Plantation Project
Bundoora P arkland has many River Red Gums, some over 400 years old. A regeneration project is in progress to ensure the survival of 26 trees at the entrance to the park. These trees were becoming stressed due to the compaction of soil from foot traffic and mowing. This also stopped regeneration of the tress by mowing new seedlings. The program involves planting some 40,000 native grasses and shrubs around the original River Red Gums with the combination of weed eradication to allow the trees to regenerate. This is being done with help of individuals and groups within the Darebin.For more information on Bundoora Park, please visit:
