Community service- Aleppo pine removal

5/6
Today wardli's 2 and 5 went down on the main road to minlaton, and cut down very few Aleppo pines and pulled out what left like millions and millions of tree gruads, which include the plastic sheet and the three bamboo poles around the outside

Q1: The Aleppo pine is native to Mediterranean areas like Spain, southern France, Italy and northern Africa.

Q2: Aleppo pine removal is planted on the Yorkes peninsula because of foresty and is used for shade. Another use is to block the winds from houses.

Q3: The southern Yorkes peninsula land care group is keen to get rid of it as is damages road power lines and building structures. It also destroys other native plants as the needles drop on the ground and therefore the plants lower can't grow. Seeds can spread over a long distance very easily and when it gets older it is a real fire hazard.

Q4: For people like Don to volunteer it takes a lot of love and passion, i think they have this passion because they love their enviroment and want to keep it in pristine condition for the our many generations that will live in the area.

Q5: I feel good about my involement in the task undertaken today, I could have tried harder but i think i did more work than most even though i didn't work the whole time
