Documenting significant trees of the region.

Do you have a favourite tree in the region? Upload a photo and tell us why it is significant to win a range of cash prizes. Central Highlands Regional Council is seeking community input in developing a tree register to document the significant trees of the region. The register will assist council in ensuring the nominated trees are protected. It will also help inform the development of a list of trees that grow well in the area and capture the character of the region. Learn how you can get involved and win prizes.

The public will be encouraged to plant trees from this list to promote community participation in beautification of the region. The aim is to have common themes in the trees across the region, and to make the Central Highlands a greener, more livable place.

Prizes available:

• 2x Judge’s Choice Awards – $200 each (information about judge on right)
• 4x Lucky Draw Prizes – $50 each (randomly selected)
