Ballan Historic Tree Walk

Ballan locals feel fortunate that early settlers had the foresight to plant many trees which today not only make for a wonderful ambience but also provide year-round interest and summer shade.

The Ballan Historic Tree Walk has been created by the Ballan Arboretum Group to honor the efforts of the early settlers and ensure that these now mature significant trees get the recognition they deserve.

Some of the beautiful trees are on nature strips, on public land, in Caledonian Park, and on private properties. By creating this walk the Group hopes to show the importance of these trees and teach about the natural environment.

The group hopes locals and visitors will take the opportunity to go for healthy, interesting and informative walks, admiring the historic trees.

The interactive map will lead you through the walk, and QR codes on individual trees provide stories about each tree as well as horticultural information.
