LEAVE OUR TREES!!!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make a difference and let our voices speak. Seaforth is a very unique seafront location. It is frequented by locals, those of the local community Mackay and district and those from other areas both near and far.

The most beautiful part of our foreshore is the trees. They are what makes this place what it is. It gives us shade in the heat of summer and a place to sit, have a picnic or just amble through. The trees here not only provide shade for us humans but also give homes to our wildlife of all species.

Some of these trees are as old as time itself and they show their age by the size and girth of their trunks. They also have great holding properties, in floods and storms, they hold on to the sandy ground and stop erosion.

So, please leave our trees intact! Trim them if you must but do not cut them down. Also, when we have markets and the people come from miles to walk around, it is the shade of the trees that allow the heat of the day to pass us by.

So, thank you for reading this, and thank you for considering making our corner of the world greater. I hope we can see things like a bike path meandering through our trees. A lovely modern playground for our children, maybe exercise stations or outdoor gym areas for all of us to embrace fitness, now that would be awesome, ok, thank you for listening and with all my heart I hope you will embrace our suggestions and concerns.

sincerely yours,
