Commemorating 100 Years of Forestry in Creswick
In 2009 Bald Hills - Creswick landcare group was approached by Rob Youl, an ex- student of the School of Forestry, to help organise and coordinate a commemorative native tree planting. The site of Hammon Park was chosen and preparation was commenced with weed spraying followed by ripping.
On a cold windy October day 2010, members gathered to assist past students plant 400 grasses, shrubs and trees. All works and materials were paid for with a grant from Powercor.
We are very pleased with the success rate as the site was filled with rubble and clay. The group has erected a sign and is providing on going matenance.
