In the first Earth
Matters session of the year Jeff Thomas will discuss Grafton trees. While Grafton is well known for
its Jacarandas, there is a lot more to the treescape in the city. From the odd
remnant of the original rainforest, early plantings for shade and
beautification, a long relationship with the Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney and
changing ideas of diversity and avenue plantings Grafton has a rich street heritage
which few other towns can rival.
Jeff
Thomas is a NPWS former ranger and currently pest officer. With scientific and
horticultural qualifications, he has been interested in the many fine examples
of trees in the urban landscape of Grafton, many of which are rarely seen
elsewhere
The
session will be held in the Staffroom at Grafton Primary School, Queen Street, Grafton
from 5.30 – 7 p.m. on Monday March 19.
There will be ample
opportunity for questions and discussion.
Refreshments will follow.
For
further information, contact Stan on 66449309.
Earth Matters is a session on the environment which
is conducted every two months by the Clarence Valley Conservation Coalition ( clarencevcc@gmail.com ).
