With quirky drawings and a punchy message the cartoons have been designed by Northern Tablelands Local Land Services to prompt some serious action on protecting and expanding stands of trees and bushland.
Postcards featuring the quirky cartoons have been mailed out around the district as part of the 2016 ‘Trees on Farms’ project.
“The shade and shelter that trees and native vegetation provide on farm is enormously beneficial for livestock, but it’s often not until those last lone paddock trees die out that we realise what an asset trees are,” said Iestyn Taylor, Senior Land Services Officer.
