Charles Sturt University (CSU) students will take part in National Tree Day when they continue the planting of understorey shrubs that commenced in 2011. Students from CSU in Albury-Wodonga will get down and dirty to sow over 1000 plants on the University campus at Thurgoona after 2.30pm on Friday 27 July. Activity coordinator and chair of the campus environment committee, Dr John Rafferty, said the celebration was also an opportunity to highlight the ‘green’ credentials and emphasis on environmental sustainability on the Albury-Wodonga Campus. “The campus is continually developing and enhancing the landscape and these habitats bring many benefits. We are seeing the site being used more and more for recreation, while the permanent habitat provides home for several species of bird and native animals. As well as enhancing the environment for local people and native animals, the site is developing as an important teaching and research resource for Charles Sturt University,” Dr Rafferty said.
