AN inventory exercise by the Penang Island City Council to keep tabs on trees in public areas in George Town will be expanded to cover places outside the city.

Mayor Datuk Maimunah Mohd Sharif said the council had inventoried 4,200 trees since the exercise began in 2013 and planned to record 6,000 more trees in the city in the last quarter of this year.
