Warren Shire Council
With a commitment of minimising our global carbon
footprint, Warren Shire Council has contributed to the
10 Thousand Trees initiative to make paper a sustainable
resource. In doing so, 10 Thousand Trees will plant trees
this year on our behalf, manage them to maturity, harvest them to be used as environmentally
friendly paper, and then reinvest the profits from that sale back into more trees. By increasing
the supply of Australian trees we are contributing to a program that ensures the safety of old
growth forests and contributes to a sustainable environment.
