Tree Vandalism
2010-11-08 22:52:50 UTC
Hi all.
Another project I am involved with at the moment involves tree vandalism. At the moment there is an ongoing issue in sandringham with trees being vandalised as they block views of the bay.
The challenge of this project as I see it is that we need to get people to view trees as an asset. Also to increase peoples awareness of their surroundings should they witness an act of tree vandalism (many wouldn't). In fact it is quite difficult to get the police involved as they view it as a victimless crime, despite the replacement value of trees being around $10k - 20k.
Ideally what I am wanting to create is a community that is aware of the value of their natural surroundings, which should make thenm less likely to vandalise trees, and more likely to report incidents should they occur.
Can anyone help with suggestions on how to achieve this.

Websites that Encourage Engagement
2010-10-20 19:32:30 UTC
Hi all
At the moment I am looking into developing a Website for Bayside City council that will serve as a platform for our behavioural change projects. The main requirement is that the website must be an interesting site that encourages participation and community ownership.
At this stage of the process I'm looking for examples of websites that offer something similar to what I am seeking to create. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
