WEST Yarraville will be in full bloom this time next year after the On the Nose Group scored a $50,000 EPA grant to plant up to 300 new trees on the streets. Maribyrnong City Council has also matched the donation with in-kind support through project management, planting and ongoing maintenance of the new trees. The streets earmarked for planting in West Yarraville are in the area bounded by Francis and Roberts streets, Geelong Rd and Footscray Cemetery. Planting will begin in May next year. The tree planting aims to improve the local air quality by absorbing pollution. 72125 Picture: KRISTIAN SCOTT
