Trees help to improve air quality, beautify and add character to our townships. They also provide a cooler, greener, more comfortable pathway for walkers and cyclists and add shade to our parks.
Between late May and September, Council’s Open Space Maintenance Team will be planting trees in streets and parks around Baw Baw. Residents have been notified via letter if they are receiving a nature strip tree in 2023.
If you have not got a letter and would like a street tree, please contact customer service on 5624 2411, to lodge a request for a street tree.
