CURRENT PROJECTS: Website reconstruction Digitization of Herbarium Notable Trees of St Arnaud and District SIGNIFICANT TREE DATABASE Nominate a Tree for our Significant Tree Database. Northern Grampians Shire Council has a Significant Tree Register . The Bunya Pine (Araucaria bidwilli) in the Queen Mary Gardens and the largest Yellow Gum (Eucalyptus leucoxylon) at the Market St entrance gate to Market Square are classified by Heritage Victoria as Regionally Significant . The Council recognises that other trees growing within St Arnaud’s main Public Spaces such as The Queen Mary Gardens, the Town Hall, Pioneer Park and King Georges Park have High Amenity Value. What is the Significant Tree Database Council needs help from the community to identify appropriate trees to add to these lists. The St Arnaud Field Naturalists Club is supporting this process by collecting suggestions from residents to create a tree database and, if a case for inclusion can be made, we’ll nominate the tree(s) to Council for special protection. What is a significant tree? It may be an unusual species or outstanding example of its type (native or introduced). It may have historical, social, cultural or religious significance or be a local landmark. It might have important habitat value by providing nesting holes for example. It can be a single tree, an avenue or a group of trees. If you value a special tree please fill in our form . HERE How do I nominate? We would like as much information as possible, but we understand that it may not be possible to provide everything. Just fill in what you can.
