Flexman/Titan Public Reserve
As the long, hot, dry summer drags on it becomes increasingly difficult to keep alive, recent plantings of native seedlings in the Flexman/Titan Reserve. Vern Rule (pictured) waters these trees almost every day carting water in plastic containers from his home. It is to be hoped recent intense mulching will keep these trees going until the much needed autumn rains arrive. They will then have a chance of growing into the type of canopy that can be seen on the left of the photo looking up the concrete drive.
