Trees Going and Coming

The chainsaw guy was back across the road today. I couldn't bear it, so we took the dogs somewhere out of earshot of the crashing trees; Lal Lal Falls.

A re-vegetation project in part of the Falls Reserve:

A number of very large old pine and cypress trees were removed from the reserve in 2011. At the time the council said landscaping work and re-planting would happen the next year. A newspaper article from the time: Anger at Lal Lal Falls Reserve tree culling.

This is the first sign of any re-planting, and it is only in one small part of the reserve. The picnic area has had no landscaping or re-vegetation.

The falls with Mt Buninyong in the background.

If I enlarge one corner of that photo:

You can just see where the new planting is in relation to the falls and the picnic area. And you can see some of the large stumps remaining in the bare picnic area.
