Centennial Parklands
If you’ve spent any time in Centennial Parklands recently, you might think all’s well. But the worrying fact is that many of the trees are in decline. Age, drought, poor soils, root compaction and the pressures of the urban environment have severely stressed many of the Parklands trees.
Our current assessment is that up to 60% of the Parklands’ 15,000 trees will need to be replaced over the next forty years.
It costs a lot of money to replace a tree. Many species need to be ordered years ahead and grown to a significant size before they can be transplanted.
We need to act now to ensure that visitors to Centennial Parklands in ten or twenty years do not see a landscape sadly diminished by the loss of major trees. Instead, we want to ensure they find the Parklands flourishing with new growth as the trees we plant today reach maturity and replace the ageing giants.
