| TREENET receives a Gong from the Queen | |
| | |
| TREENET Cofounder and Director David Lawry received an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the Queens Birthday honours announced recently. The citation was: "For service to arboriculture and the environment, particularly through research and support for sustainable plantings in the urban landscape, and to the community through the Avenues of Honour project." Whilst it is a great personal honour, this award will help to raise awareness of the value of TREENET, and the urban forest in particular, to the broader community. David wonders whether it is was awarded by the renowned Arb Educator from NSW, Judy Fakes, who was crowned "Queen of Arboriculture" at the 2006 symposium! David Lawry (OAM) wishes to thank all those who have emailed or phoned to congratulate him. | |
