Urban Trees – making choices for a changing climate

As our local climate becomes hotter and drier, street trees and private spaces can be used for valuable passive interventions to modify the local microclimate. Informed decision-making about tree varieties and placement are essential to have targeted and long-term impacts in our local towns and cities.

The Ararat Landcare Group has partnered with Ararat Rural City Council to plant a diversity of trees in Ararat streets.

Please join us to participate in tree-planting and creating habitat in your streets.
