Shady lanes. Yes we canopy?

284 greening projects across Perth and Peel just received Let’s Grow Grants funding, and most of them are at schools. 

Shade on the way to school matters too. A leafy route makes walking and riding so much nicer in summer.

Our map shows tree canopy along Perth and Peel’s main riding routes, and plenty of neighbourhoods are still short on shade. We’re asking for Round Two to put shady walking and riding routes on the priority list.

Know a school or community group that could apply? Round Two details are coming soon: wa.gov.au/letsgrow
