Snippet:
A man accused of poisoning six mature trees in a heritage-listed park in Sydney’s inner west has agreed to pay more than $116,000 to fund park improvements after admitting he drilled holes into the trees and poured petrol into them in a case residents said turned the site into a “tree graveyard”.
