Happy Wattle Day!! ⭐️🌳

Happy National Wattle Day! Celebrating one of Australia’s most iconic native plants 💛 Wattle Day Association Inc.

Did you know Australia is home to more than 1,000 species of native wattle (Acacia)? 🌼

Note: Some Acacia species can be invasive outside their native range. It’s always best to check with your local council to find out which native plants are suitable for planting in your area.

It’s all happening in Adelaide this week! A line up of horticulture, urban greening, urban forest activities.

See you there!

🌱 The Real Program Starts Between the Sessions.
A conversation over coffee.
An introduction before a presentation.
A shared idea after a speaker finishes.
A question that keeps going long after the event.

That’s where some of the most valuable moments happen.

This week, Adelaide brings together an extraordinary mix of professionals across horticulture, therapeutic horticulture, urban forestry, media and the wider green industry.

The formal program will be inspiring.

The informal connections could be even more powerful.

The measure of a great industry gathering isn't only what happens while we're there.

It's what happens because we were there.

To everyone attending — say hello, introduce yourself and make the most of being part of this rare gathering.

🌳🌳 GREEN SPACE IS PRECIOUS! WE NEED MORE OF IT.

Some SA TREENETers took to the parks and streets on Sunday in support of the Adelaide Park Lands Association’s Stop the Chop campaign. Many thousands of South Australians met to voice their views on the Government of South Australia’s removal of hundreds of large trees as part of the redevelopment of the North Adelaide Public Golf Course site and development of the new MotoGP track in Adelaide.

The rally began in the CBD’s central park, Victoria Square, and demonstrated the significant concern within the community for the removal of such a large number of established trees, where the benefits cannot be immediately replaced by planting of seedlings.

While other cities and nations are working to increase green space and tree cover, to improve health, wellbeing and urban liveability, the South Australia community’s open space is being ‘developed’ and access restricted. The Committee for Sydney recently showed that increasing urban green space would provide health and wellbeing benefits that would save $1 Billion in health costs each year. An independent economic report to the SA Attorney-General’s Department showed that a 1% increase in tree canopy cover across Greater Adelaide would reduce mental health treatment costs by $8 Million per year (in 2020 dollars), for three common conditions alone (depression, anxiety and stress).

At TREENET we regularly hear ‘right tree, right place’. The same must apply to development. Development supporting Golf and MotoGP are great for the state, in the right place!
