Blue Gums Stolen!

Six Sydney blue gum trees planted by Ryde Council in Miriam Park at West Ryde have been stolen!  New exotic plants have been planted in their place.
The blue gums were planted by Ryde council workers on Friday October 28, and were reported stolen on Monday.  This demonstrates that residents need to be alerted to the plantings, and asked to be vigilant to try to prevent such thefts.
It also demonstrates how important it is to preserve and protect the mature blue gum trees we do have!  Not as easy to steal as new plantings, but quite capable of being destroyed.
