Community organisation Friends of the Tulliallan Elms had a Clean Up Australia day at its Quarterly Friends Gathering on Sunday 2 March.

It trained the local community about the elm trees and their diseases and also organised a litter pick-up activity, also in conjunction with Clean-up Australia Day.

It then started to re-label the trees using the new copper nameplates.

The names came up from students of Tulliallan Primary School in 2019.

About 30 people joined the event which ended with a complimentary breakfast under the elm trees. Casey Councillor Shane Taylor also attended the day.

Friends of the Tulliallan Elms is a community volunteer group that supports the conservation efforts of 110 elm trees in the Tulliallan estate in Cranbourne North.
