More than 4,500 trees have been planted in the open space at Burnt Creek as part of a HRCC and Landcare initiative.
The revegetation project has seen enthusiastic participation from students of Horsham College, Horsham Special School, Woodcroft College in South Australia, and members of the Karen community over the past 12 months.
The council-owned land, situated directly behind the Burnt Creek Industrial Estate, which is currently in the planning stages of development, has been transformed with a diverse mix of large eucalypts, shrubs, and grasses.
This effort not only aims to beautify the area but also brings significant environmental benefits.
Revegetation plays a crucial role in rural land management by controlling soil erosion and improving soil fertility.
Additionally, it enhances the aesthetic value of the landscape, creating a more pleasant environment for residents and visitors.
