Annual Community Tree Planting Days 2004

3rd July 2004: A large area along both sides of Gribble Creek bordered by Johnston, Kingsmill and Wittenoom Streets was the site for this year's Community Tree Planting Day.

Individuals and teams participated in what turned out to be the most successful day with over 5500 trees planted.

Congratulations to Placer Dome Asia Pacific for winning the Corporate Challenge and the 1st Boulder Scout Group for winning the Community Challenge and the best Treeplanting song. The Department of Environment looked a treat in their homemade insect outfits and accordingly won the best costume prize.

Special thanks goes to the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder for preparing the site and laying all the reticulation (a huge job over many weeks), donating trees and helping set up and pack away on the day. Our appreciation goes out also to the early birds who helped out on Saturday morning setting the trees out and others like WMC Resources Community Participation Team for manning the Registration Desk.

The day would not be possible of course without our sponsors and a big thank you goes out to Western Power, the Minister for Environment's Community Conservation grants, Regent Cinema Kalgoorlie, and last but definitely not least, the City of Kalgoorlie Boulder.

Thanks also to all of the other teams and individuals who came along and participated during the day. Your fantastic efforts help create a better environment and a better lifestyle for the community of Kalgoorlie Boulder.
