More than a decade ago, every council-owned tree in Melbourne was given an email address. It was a way to keep on top of maintenance, but it soon took a more romantic turn.
It was a way for the City of Melbourne to track any maintenance, but it soon took a more poetic turn.
"So what the City of Melbourne have done is they've tracked and given a number to every single tree in the city."The next step was to make that information accessible.""And there's a button that says, 'Email this tree'," Mr O'Shea said. "I met a woman there, Juliana … her team are responsible for the trees, and what has become a quirky emailing project," he said.
"Dear tree number 1517937, I'm confessing something very dear to me. I have fallen in love with tree number 1583182. I also feel guilty for cheating. I honestly feel really bad and I don't know what to do. Would be really great if you could give me some advice. Regards, tree lover," an anonymous admirer wrote.
