Gary Palmer, Asset Office/Open Space &
Leisure Services, Gosford City Council was thrilled at the
wonderful turnout for Goodaywang Reserve National Tree Planting
Day .
Over 60 people attended endeavouring to plant up to 900 trees.
Our thanks go to those who have attended our
Monthly Bush Care Working Bees held on the 1st Friday of each month
under the supervision of Gary Palmer and his staff.
A visit to the reserve will help you appreciate the
vista and environmental planning that is shaping the redevelopment
of the reserve with help from members and residents of our
area.
It is a pleasure sharing the enthusiasm that
Gary Palmer, Craig Newbury and staff have exhibited for this project.
