Survey responses appreciate arboretum's peacefulness
The Pearl Beach Arboretum has received more than 70 responses to its community survey.
"There were many comments about how peaceful it is," said arboretum secretary Ms Mary Knaggs.
"About half those responses were from local residents or regular visitors to Pearl Beach and others being less frequent visitors.
"What most people like best about the Arboretum is its quiet tranquility and the ability to appreciate native flora and fauna.
"There was a high acknowledgement of the work of the Arboretum management committee and the many other volunteers who look after the Arboretum.
"There was overwhelming community support for nature conservation, particularly regarding koalas being re-established in the local area.
"There were some suggestions for sympathetic changes and new activities, for example more educational and cultural programs.
"We will take these comments on board over the coming years," Ms Knaggs said.
