Give our street trees a drink
The dry summer makes life hard for our street trees. Watering is carried out regularly by contractors but the trees like a helping hand from residents too. Water with a hand-held hose or a watering can in the morning or evening. Using recycled water from the bath or sink is welcome.
You can help care for street trees by:
• Keeping lawnmowers away from the trunk to prevent bark damage
• Not spraying around the tree base
• Reporting any vandalism or wind damage.
Contact the Council on 03 520 7400 if you notice a problem with a street tree. https://www.marlborough.govt.nz/recreation/parks-and-reserves/trees/street-trees

What colour are the stairs?
