The Albury-Wodonga area is home to one of Australia’s largest urban reforestation programs, with approximately 3 million trees and shrubs planted as part of a major environmental initiative. This effort was primarily driven by the Albury-Wodonga Development Corporation (AWDC) during the region’s development in the 1970s and 1980s. The program aimed to enhance urban green spaces, improve biodiversity, and support the long-term sustainability of the region.
Key Features of the Reforestation Program:
- Scale: Around 3 million native trees and shrubs were planted, making it one of Australia’s largest urban reforestation efforts[2][6].
- Impact: The initiative contributed significantly to maintaining green spaces in the Albury-Wodonga growth area, aligning with broader goals of sustainable urban development and biodiversity conservation[2].
- Legacy: The program set a precedent for environmental leadership in the region, which continues through projects like the Wodonga Regional Park Reforestation and Urban Forest Strategy[1][7].
This large-scale planting effort has helped establish Albury-Wodonga as a model for integrating environmental sustainability into urban planning.
