Interpretive signs made from river red gum trees are now showing visitors the way in reserves across Greater Dandenong.
The council used wood from trees the State Government cut down as part of the level crossing removal project in Noble Park and an old bridge dismantled last year.
The 23 signs have been installed in the Coomoora Flora and Fauna Woodland Reserve, Falkiner Reserve and the National Drive Reserve.
They contain historical and botanical information about the parks and provide insight to local flora and fauna.
Greater Dandenong mayor Youhorn Chea said all three reserves were home to important remnant bushland and indigenous plants and animals.
“The red gum signage is a great example of how sustainable resources can be given another purpose in life,” he said.
“The signs pay homage to the rich heritage and significance river red gums have in the City of Greater Dandenong.”
