Trees have been planted at the Yuendumu oval as part of a Local Authority (LA) project. The work was completed by the Central Desert Regional Council (CDRC) Community Development Program (CDP) crew in Yuendumu.
After getting clearance from ‘Dial Before You Dig’ ten trees have been planted around the football oval. Aaron Singleton and Ansalem Wilson, both jobseekers in Yuendumu with CDP, helped to plant and water the trees in, with the help of Cliffy Egan, the Client Services Officer and Vaughn Hampton, Activity Supervisor at CDP in Yuendumu.
To water the trees they used one of the 2000 litre water trailers that the Yuendumu LA purchased last year.
This project will provide shade to people watching the football for years to come, and possibly a better view of the action.
