Grow our urban forest on National Tree Day, July 29
Nicola, Hayley & Lucas ready to plant More Trees Please
In 2012 you can help grow the urban forest on National Tree Day and every other day of the year.
“Urban forests are all the trees and plants in a suburb or city on both private and public land and not many people realise how important they are to our health and wellbeing,” said the CEO of Nursery & Garden Industry Australia, Robert Prince.
Two YouTube short animations have been produced as part of the industry’s More Trees Please campaign to explain the urban forest concept and its value to our health and wellbeing. They can be viewed directly at www.plantlifebalance.com.au
This years Improve your Plant/Life Balance (PLB) message of ‘More Trees Please’ (MTP) was both well represented and received on National Tree Day at the City of Sydney media site.
The ambassador for National Tree Day this year was the Lorax who added a bit of colour and fun to the event, especially for the children in attendance. For those not familiar with The Lorax, it is a Dr Seuss character who is the ‘protector of the trees’.
March 2nd marks Phase 2 of the industry’s Improve Your Plant/Life Balance campaign. The focus of this year’s campaign is ‘More Trees Please’ which is designed to promote the health and wellbeing benefits of trees to the wider community.
