You can’t take it with you when you go…but you can leave some behind to support your open, green, public Adelaide Park Lands.

Premier Peter Malinauskas has come up with a new excuse to try to justify what he says would be 585 trees to be destroyed in your urban-forested golf course Park, i.e. Possum Park / Pirltawardli (Park 1 of your Adelaide Park Lands).
Support is growing for a re-think of the State Government's controversial plans to destroy hundreds of trees in your Adelaide Park Lands to cater for an elite golfing festival which has lost its main backer.
There is plenty of evidence about:
the importance of protecting mature trees, and any city’s tree canopy;
