Tree plant brings community together
Hundreds of people turned up at a community tree plant at Shaw
Forest Country Park on 19 March.
It was the fifth since the landfill site was designated for development
as part of the Great Western Community Forest in 1994. Over the last
twelve years 55,000 trees have been planted and there is now footpath
access across the park.
Further planting and footpath building will take place later this year
and completion is targetted for 2008.
