DEAR News Of The Area,

WHAT a shame that the shade and beautiful trees in Woolgoolga upset a small body of people when they are a well known attraction.

I was part of the planting of the original trees in Nightingale Street.

In the early 1980s Don Clich, a long term resident and real estate proprietor, lobbied all the relevant authorities to plant some street trees.

He arranged local nursery owner Carl Freeman (my employer) to supply at a heavily discounted price and we planted several of the advanced trees.

We now reside on the Central Coast and most people we meet down here relate directly to the red flowering trees to identify Woopi.

Please save one of the best assets of a summer in Woopi.

Regards,
Jim GRAHAM,
Central Coast.
