Trees contribute significantly to the overall well-being of our community. However, many home owners lack the assurance to plant and maintain a tree within their own gardens.

This event looks at some of the barriers people face when managing trees and provides insight into which trees are best suited to urban properties with an aim to retain them through to maturity.

We will discuss:

• The benefits of trees

• Perth’s urban canopy decline

• How to choose a tree for your garden: selection considerations and recommendations

• Local stock availability, costs and options

• Government rebates

• Planting and establishment methods

• Basic maintenance

• Weedy and noxious trees to avoid

Perth needs more trees. With a sharp loss in urban canopy, threats from Polyphagous Shothole borer and decline of habitat for Black Cockatoos, it is more important than ever to plant trees, let them grow, mature and reach their potential.

Join us to learn how you can contribute to Perth’s urban canopy coverage.
