I was quite surprised to see (on page 10) that Monterey Pines are regarded as environmental weeds.
Several of the parks I walk in have them and it is lovely to walk under them. It is so quiet. And the stands of trees are not big, so that you are through that bit fairly quickly.

| I think this is a Monterey Pine, I could be mistaken. This one is at Rosanna. |

I also noticed that they provide food for the cockatoos. I have noticed black cockatoos, white cockatoos in them. And there was a very tame flock of Corellas there a few days ago. They let us walk very close to them and they barely looked at us, dog included.
The brochure is basically telling us to pull them out if we see them sprouting, not to get rid of the big ones. Thank goodness.
