Flora and Fauna
Our physical environment is at the heart of what CCS is about.
If you live in this region, you are probably enjoying what CCS has fought for and preserved over the past 44 years.
In particular “canopy trees” are foremost in the character of Maroondah.
A canopy tree is defined as any tree that has a height greater than 5 metres OR a single trunk circumference greater than 0.5 metre (measured at 1 metre above ground level).
Permits are required to remove this type of vegetation.Our trees are of great importance and add significantly to our living environment.
