About this episode
This episode explores the significant impact of trees on the environment through the insights of two experts involved in large-scale planting efforts.
It's true that tree-loving is infectious and in this episode we hear all about the superpower of trees with two tree-loving experts Matt Bowler and Richard (Richie) Allen from the CMA who've collectively planted over a million seedlings across the West Gippy catchment in their work restoring and protecting rivers. The plantings talked about during this episode are part of the long-term Corner Inlet Flagship Project, funded by the Victorian government’s EC6 program.
