The ABC has recently featured Brisbane’s quest to be the greenest city in Australia … with a total of 2 million trees.  The city is on track with half a million already.

It certainly is an exciting time to be an arborist in Brisbane !

Some interesting recent articles about animals just falling dead from trees.

A bizarre mix of trees and wildlife incidents have happened in the last few weeks …

The Herald Sun in Melbourne published a story about a massive possum die off in the suburb of Casey, around 70% of the total population, for which a recent heatwave has been blamed.  Also in Victoria, the Herald Sun reported that a large number of koalas had been either killed or badly burned in this week’s bushfires.  Meanwhile in Bundamba near Ipswich in South East Queensland, up to 60 native parrots were falling dead from trees in an unexplained fashion according to the Brisbane Times.

While on the other side of the planet, southern Florida in the United States, the chilly weather has seen a spate of warm blooded iguana simply falling from the trees.
