Urban Tree canopy is vital for mitigating the urban heat sink effect, for native habitats and wildlife corridors. It is precious - and yet can be wiped away and lose critical mass with just a few ill thought or ill planned developments. Right now, since the Labor Government refused to renew SLO9 in Whitehorse, significant and irreplaceable mature Trees are now coming down across Blackburn and Box Hill South.. A Jess Wilson-led Liberal and Nationals Government will restore it. 🌳. SLO9 wi be back!!
