*** The aim of the project is to collect based data now of what their current condition is and then ask people to resubmit that data annually so we can measure if their health is declining. We can really start tracking the health of the trees and how they're going under climate change, especially if we get another dry period or could be really interesting to find out just what the trees are doing. Probably not going to live as long as they did in a natural environment where they were surrounded by trees of a similar age. So a tree exposed in a paddock by itself is bound to suffer. Not just because they look beautiful but also because they're really important habitat for a range of our fauna. So trees take about 100 to 150 years to grow hollows and a lot of our animals rely on hollows to live in and to breed and to keep warming winter and cool in summer and all that kind of stuff. Fragral, the climate is getting hotter, the trees having to adapt and they're getting older so yes they're disappearing for sure. Because they're always there we don't look at them carefully enough so this project is prompting people to have a close look at how their trees are travelling. Thanks for watching.
