TREE PLANTING
Blue Mountains City Council will plant nearly 400 trees in the lower Blue Mountains to combat urban heat.
Council is planting hundreds of trees across three locations in the lower Blue Mountains to combat increased temperatures associated with the loss of tree canopy cover.
Over the coming months, Council will plant 272 trees at Blaxland, 61 at Glenbrook and 51 at Winmalee. The locations selected for canopy renewal are those identified by heat mapping technology as a hot spot.
