Tatura Fire Brigade

Tatura Fire Brigade is asking for a few minutes of your time. With these few minutes you can help save not only your house, but those of your neighbours as well.

Located on or near your nature strip is a fire hydrant or ground plug.

Should a fire break out on your property or a neighbouring property, it is essential that firefighters can gain quick access to it.

Ground plugs are identified by a white marker post with an angled red top pointing down in the direction of the plug location.

If you find these marker posts damaged or missing, please report it to the City of Greater Shepparton Council on 5832 9700 or online to greatershepparton.com.au Report an issue

DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE TREE?

GV Tree Nursery would like to hear from any Tatura community members who know of a special tree that they believe deserves a nomination for the Significant Tree Register (Vic).

The National Trust is collaborating to create the Significant Tree Register. A recent search of the register revealed that Tatura is one of the only local towns that have not registered any of our special trees. GV Tree Nursery is offering to support the Tatura community to address this omission as we feel there must be a tree or two worth acknowledging in our local area. Trees may be in a public place, private garden or on farmland.

What would a tree have to exhibit for it to be recognised as a significant tree, I hear you ask? It may be:

• Outstanding for its size.

• Associated with aboriginal activities.

• A species or variety that is rare or of a very localised distribution.

• An important source of seed or propagating stock.

• Part of a commemorative planting.

• Exhibiting curious growth form or physical features.

• Remnant native vegetation, or it could just be a really great looking tree! What information is needed to make a nomination? You need some data before your nomination can be assessed:

• species identification, if possible

• tree height

• tree canopy spread

• tree trunk circumference

• tree age estimate

• photos: whole tree, bark, foliage, nuts/fruits/ flowers if any

• location details

• historical information about the tree, if known. If there is a tree that you love and believe would be a great candidate, we can help you with the nomination process.

Contact us at the GV Tree Nursery, 6 Kerferd St, Tatura on Tues and Sat mornings and we can discuss your choice.

Heritage Trust:

Over 2,000 significant tree records, have been compiled over 30 years by the National Trusts across Australia. These records represent over 25,000 trees around the country. Once confined to paper files and clunky databases, these records have now been updated by volunteers and loaded into the new National Trusts of Australia Register of Significant Trees website at www.trusttrees.org.au.

Take pleasure and delight in your role as custodian of a special tree, knowing your stewardship positions the next generation of custodians to follow in your footsteps. Our stocks of trees and plants are selling fast so pop in and see us before you miss out.
