WARBURTON TREE PROTESTS GROW
■ Community protests over the possible removal of all or part of the ‘Warburton Tree’ have stepped up. Protesters fear that the Yarra Ranges Council could remove the historic Manna Gum tree at any time. The Council has towed some protester’s cars away from nearby the tree which is situated at the Warburton Recreation Reserve. The Council has created a ‘restricted area’ around the site, and posted small signs saying that unauthorised cars will be removed. Police and security guards have also been informed in the stand-off between protesters and the Council. The protesters hve also engaged their own arborists to gather data. More details inside.
