CANBERRA: Melbourne city council assigned an email id to each tree so that people could register their complaints or suggestions about the tree but people are posting well-wishes letter to the trees.
These trees have been receiving fans’ mail around the world since the city council assign them email addresses.
The 70,000 trees are mapped in a project called Urban Forest Visual, with each tree assigned an identification number.
Melbourne city councilor Arron Wood said their original intention was to help residents report tree vandalism or branches dropping but people began sending emails professing their love for trees.
Since launching in May 2013, the website has received more than 3,000 emails to individual trees.
