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.
阿尔伯里-沃东加地区是澳大利亚最大城市再造林项目之一的所在地，共种植了约300万棵树木和灌木，这是该地区在20世纪70年代和80年代发展期间由阿尔伯里-沃东加发展公司（AWDC）主导的一项重要环保举措。该计划旨在增强城市绿地、改善生物多样性并支持该地区的长期可持续性。
再造林计划的主要特点：
- 规模： 种植了约300万棵本地树木和灌木，使其成为澳大利亚最大城市再造林项目之一[2][6]。
- 影响： 该计划显著促进了阿尔伯里-沃东加增长地区绿地的维护，同时符合可持续城市发展和生物多样性保护的更广泛目标[2]。
- 遗产： 该项目为区域环境领导力奠定了基础，目前通过沃东加区域公园再造林项目和城市森林战略等项目得以延续[1][7]。
这一大规模种植工作帮助阿尔伯里-沃东加成为将环境可持续性融入城市规划的典范。
