Tony Wootton - Tree Surgeon and Arborist
Thanks for the interview article in the January issue!
I was welcomed by many tree assessments and quotes to do when I got back from holidays and believe this was due to the extra exposure in the HT. So that's just great.

On behalf of Welcome to Maleny Refugee Advocacy Group, I would like
to thank you for your article about the Persian Cultural Concert which
was held in the Maleny Community Centre on 17th February.
Good publicity always helps our cause!
And the wonderful article you wrote before the concert made sure we sold all the tickets very quickly. The audience really appreciated the evening, and its success was due to all the people who helped us to provide such a wonderful event.
In deep appreciation and warmest regards
