A SEMI-MATURE tree has been destroyed in Rotary Park, Alexandra. The tree was planted approximately two years ago. The project to plant trees in Alexandra was initiated by Alexandra and District Open Gardens Inc, who heard that grant monies were available for projects commemorating Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee.

The organisation was successful in obtaining a grant for the project, which was supplemented with additional financial and in-kind support from Shire of Murrindindi, Alexandra Rotary and Goulburn Valley Water.

It has been hugely disappointing to see the recent vandalism. Shame on those responsible.

The Brachychiton tree is not a tree which is common in the area.

The tree was last seen intact at about 8pm, on February 28. The damage was found at about 8am on March 1.

It’s pointless vandalism to something that has been organised by members of the community in an attempt at beautifying the town. If anyone knows anything, contact the Alexandra Police Station on 5772 1040.
