Have you ever been walking down near Belconnen lake and then wandered back up to Belconnen town centre and suddenly felt like the day just got several degrees hotter?
Trees and water make a place cooler.
Our landcare activities are helping to reduce heat, and we can do more to help.
Check out this article about urban heat, its impacts, and what can be done to lessen it.
One of the things I love about living in the Emu Creek area is all the birds that come to visit...
Whether it is down by the lake....
Or even in my front yard...

This article has some tips about how you can help - even in your own back yard.
