The Tree Council's national Tree Care Campaign runs from March
to September and highlights the need for better care for all trees,
in order to ensure their survival and increase the number reaching
maturity.
It was launched in 1999 to urge anyone who has planted trees in
the past 5 years to revisit them and carry out a few simple tree
care tasks, such as clearing weeds, mulching and checking ties.
These actions can save young trees from dying and allow them to
develop into mature trees that enhance our urban and rural
landscape, provide shade and local climate change, and support
biodiversity.
