But Why Would You Want to Email a Tree?
Let's face it, sometimes a good rant about a poorly parked car just isn't enough. Maybe you need to confess your love for the way a certain Jacaranda drapes its purple cloak over the footpath in spring. Or perhaps you witnessed a particularly impressive bird's nest nestled in the branches of a Moreton Bay Fig and just gotta say "well done, mate!" Whatever the reason, Melbourne's arboreal email system is here to cater to your wildest (or should we say woodiest) whims.
How to Craft the Perfect Email to Your Foliage Friend
Here's the lowdown on crafting the perfect email for your leafy correspondent:
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
- Find Your Friend: Head to the Urban Forest Visual map ([search melbourne urban forest map]). Zoom in on your desired dendrite (that's a fancy word for tree) and click on the little tree icon.
- Subject Line Shenanigans: Get creative! "Ode to a Superb Specimen" or "Just Here to Talk About Squirrels" are both attention-grabbing options.
- Body Beautiful: Keep it light and breezy. Compliment their bark texture, discuss the weather (trees love a good weather chat), or maybe even offer some words of encouragement for their ongoing battle with that pesky pigeon population.
- Hit Send! Watch in anticipation (or should we say arborcipation) for a reply. While trees are notoriously slow typists (due to the whole, you know, not having hands thing), you might just get a response from the council arborist team about your message.
Remember: Trees don't have email etiquette guides, so unleash your inner bard and let your love for the urban forest flow freely!

Can I email a tree outside of Melbourne? Sadly, this digital arborist love affair is currently exclusive to Melbourne's urban forest.
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
What if I don't have internet access? You can always write a good old-fashioned letter and leave it under the tree (just make sure it's weighted down so it doesn't blow away).
Is there a word limit for tree emails? Nope, go wild (but maybe avoid sending them an entire novel).
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
So there you have it! With a little digital know-how, you can now connect with Melbourne's magnificent trees on a whole new level. So grab your keyboard, unleash your inner nature enthusiast, and get ready to write the most unique email of your life!
