Salient is an excellent design with a fresh approach for the ever-changing Web. Integrated with Gantry 5, it is infinitely customizable, incredibly powerful, and remarkably simple.
DownloadWe have outdone ourselves this year with the huge amount of work that we have done. As a result we have planted over 6500 trees and shrubs.
Sadly we have also had the worst year for vandalism with broken trees on the riverbank and an area of Addison Street bush, near the weir, has had 25 mature trees cut down, and others dug up in an attempt to make a bike track in the bush area.
There has also been a theft from our nursery which has never happened in all the years we have had the nursery in Thornton Road. Hence we are missing our chainsaw and two weed eaters and one twenty litre petrol tin. Now some of the jobs are going to be delayed until we can get funding for replacement tools.
The summer months have been a busy time for the Tuesday group who have met regularly each week. The themes of CONSOLIDATION, PLANNING and PLANT PREPARATION have been to the fore in our weekly work. The nursery at Thornton Rd is an absolute picture and it is chokka with healthy plants just waiting for the rains to arrive before we start planting them out around Cambridge. Our aim this winter is to complete as many projects that have been on going for a few years as we possibly can. Our Tuesday group reaches 14 on our best days and we would welcome others to join us.
October Newsletter and 2009 Annual report.
The Cambridge Tree Trust has had a very busy and active 2009 under the enthusiastic leadership of Brian Mayo. A core group of 10-14 meet at the Thornton Rd Nursery every Tuesday at 9 am to propagate both exotic and native trees, shrubs and flax which are then planted out around Cambridge. Over the last nineteen years the CTT has had a huge impact on the Cambridge urban landscape by constructing tracks and planting trees on reserve land which have attracted native birds to our urban environment. This spring the town has been a picture and the bird life especially tuis has been exceptional. The following is a brief summary of work done this year by the Cambridge Tree Trust and its members. It is very much a work in progress with something happening every week to make Cambridge a better environment in which to live.
Already we are well into the year of 2009 and we have continued to be busy every week all through the holiday season. Our Tuesday morning group continues, regardless of the season.
All through the summer holiday season different members have been away at times, to the most interesting of places, mostly in New Zealand. They come back rejuvenated with lots of stories to tell us about the Queen Charlotte Sounds Walk, or the cycleway in mid Canterbury, Northland, and one member is away for four weeks touring the South Island, so we await his tales. A couple have ventured to Australia, but not to the flooded area or the bush fire zone.
A successful A.G.M. was held on the 11th of November 2008.
This year's Trustees are: Mike Short, Greg Liddy, Brian Mayo and John Davies.
The Management Committee is: Chair Brian Mayo, Deputy Chair Don Willoughby, Treasurer Greg Liddy and Secretary Leslie Wood.

Spring work
Annual General Meeting Time again.
Tuesday 11th of November 2008 at 11am at the nursery; 89 Thornton Road Cambridge.
What a winter we have had, with rain, and wet Tuesdays, we thought we would never achieve all we had planned for this year in the way of planting, but it is amazing what a little fine weather can do.
We did get the planting season under way in May and early June before the weather broke, but when it did it just never seemed to stop and always on a Tuesday when our planting group had all these plans.
