Check out these new compostable tree guards being used by City of Onkaparinga!

This is exciting!

We're all used to seeing the green plastic tree guards when new plants go into the ground but they often end up breaking up into micropastics in the soil or worse, blown into waterways.

The City of Onkaparinga is trialing a new type of tree guard for new plantings - a much more sustainable one. A compostable tree guard!

Or if you don't have Facebook then I've attached a couple of photos to this post. Photo credits: All images are from the City of Onkaparinga's Facebook page and are credited to the City of Onkaparinga.

We are going to trial these with our new plantings at Godfrey Street Reserve. Watch this space for more info as we plan the first planting event!
