We are seeking powerful visual statements about Melbourne’s Urban Forest.
We’d like you to visually explore either of the following themes:
- why trees are important to you
- your vision for Melbourne’s future urban forest
We encourage everyone to think about our trees as they will not only benefit us, but the next generations of Melburnians to come. Trees play a key role in every person’s daily life, whether they know it or not. That’s why everyone should have a say in how our future Urban Forest should evolve.
