I enjoyed a day of thought provoking presentations at the first "Rethinking the urban Forest" Conference that was hosted by the Addison Road Community Centre.

A fascinating analysis of the Climate and Urban Forest challenges and the intersection of them both. Every challenge presents opportunities and it was inspiring to hear many different approaches to these challenges.

We look forward to our practice as well as the wider industry adapting to these challenges and providing advanced services to meet them.

It was a thrill and a privilege to have been able to assist with the planting of the first super advanced mature Fig at the Headland Park at Barangaroo today. This park is going to be such a beautiful addition to Sydney and I'm looking to forward to sitting under this Fig and watching the Harbour.

Barangaroo trees

It was great to revisit the Barangaroo site today and see that not only have those first two Eucalypts survived the tough conditions but they are thriving amongst many others.

Looking forward to being involved in the installation of the first two big Figs on site tomorrow.
