…our city can be healthy, green and resilient

Students from Keysborough Gardens Primary School recently took part in the program’s first tree planting event.

Mayor, Cr Eden Foster said Council has recognised that across Greater Dandenong there are not enough trees.

“Trees help keep us cool by providing shade. They also provide a habitat for native wildlife.

“Council has a vision that our city can be healthy, green and resilient, and we can achieve this by planting more trees.

“Getting out in nature and getting our hands dirty has a proven benefit to our mental health.

“If you feel inspired to plant more trees around our city you can get involved in the community planting days we run throughout the year,” said the Mayor.
