Funding for tree canopy cover in Shellharbour

The state Government is supporting Shellharbour City Council with more than $95,000 to grow tree canopy cover.

Member for Shellharbour Anna Watson, says the move will help reduce urban heat, and boost biodiversity so neighbourhoods are more liveable, and climate resilient.

Ms Watson says the investment in Shellharbour, will enhance ‘Keith Fletcher Park’, delivering 4,750 square metres of native trees and understorey vegetation, two tiny forests, and new education features.
