Planting sites help grow green canopy
Hundreds of offset plantings have been made at Logan City Council’s Cedar Grove Environmental Centre.
City of Logan continues to strengthen its green credentials with a decision to protect two Council-owned reserves and utilise them for tree planting.
Environmental (vegetation) offsets will be established in currently unused areas of Skene Road Reserve at Wolffdene and Newstead Park at Buccan.
Tree planting of the sites will be designed to allow for future community recreational use, including walking trails.
Neighbouring properties to the two sites have been identified as having environmental values, including core koala habitat. It will take about seven years for the sites to become fully established.
