Annual Community Tree Planting Days 2002

8 June 2002: Nearly 300 people came out on a beautiful winter's morning to plant 2000 trees and shrubs in Centennial Park.

Most of the trees and shrubs were planted in the first hour!

Participants were then encouraged to spread mulch around their trees and seeds were available to disperse for the latecomers.

The day was very worthwhile both for environmental and social reasons. Community and corporate groups, the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, mining companies, families and individuals joined together to do their bit for the environment to celebrate Arbor Day and Goldfields Environment Month.

As part of the day, KBULG organised a Community and Corporate Challenge for local businesses and community groups. The Boys Brigade won the Community Challenge with the most participants and the Corporate Challenge was won by WMC Ltd - Kalgoorlie Nickel Smelter.
