My kids go to this school and I go there daily.
Chatswood Hills State School
That's where we shot this video
School children climbing dead wooding display
They have a strong emphasis on the environment, however things have really been sliding over the last year.
Here's some shots of the way a couple of eucs were treated on the site.
The two eucs and the trench.
Here you can see the torn roots and how close they went to the trunk. You cannot see the pipe/conduit they layed as partially filled.
Just a distance shot showing the ht and poor taper, that's because they were sheltered in a group but the group is gone and now they are fringe trees.
Here the trench is filled and of course the job couldn't be complete without the good ole concrete, not that it matters anyway as all those roots are dead.
Just another angle but dont forget, not far to the left is concrete path so these trees got a top deal.
There'll be more to come, and yes, I have emailed the principal ... that's the new principal that reckons all is under control and wouldn't give me an ounce of time ... just fobbed me off, reckons Q-Build and the gardener know best.
So, I'm starting to record things, the previous principal was most approachable and used to care and I'd help out. We also did a gardening day there and took the Kanga, moved rocks around and mulched gardens, ground stumps etc, the new principal probably wouldn't even know that happened.
