Leaf it to the locals

While the recent rain has given our parks and trees a much-needed break, it wasn’t long ago that Penfold Park was feeling the heat. During those hot, dry weeks, City of Burnside residents John and Oria, along with other community members, quietly stepped up, carrying buckets of water to newly planted trees to help them survive the tough summer conditions.

Their generous act didn’t go unnoticed, and the City of Burnside would like to thank them and all others who went out of their way, for their hard work, initiative and community spirit.

As a result of the prolonged dry season Council extended the tree watering program to support our urban forest.

Thanks to residents like John, Oria and others across Burnside who have been lending a hand, our community continues to show what it means to care for the environment.
