April 22 Earth Day - Our Club Project

As announced at our last meeting, here are the details for the Club’s Earth Day project (announced by Eeon standing in for Ros).

We would like as many members to attend as possible. Ocean Grove Rotary is undertaking this project on the same day

When : 22 April 10am

What : Earth Day Activity and BBQ

Where : The Dell, Clifton Springs

Who : Highton Rotary, St Luke’s Environment Group, Clifton Springs, Curlewis Coastcare ,

How to get there – drive the length of Jetty Rd., Clifton Springs, turn right at the end of Jetty Rd., drive on until you see the sign pointing left to THE DELL. Parking at the top of The Dell and walk down the ramp.

What to bring – gloves, sunhat and sunscreen, warm top (just in case), bag or bucket, $2.50 for BBQ water bottle.

What we are doing – we will take a survey of the litter we find at The Dell and send our findings to the Port Phillip Eco Centre who will add this to their data base from all around Port Phillip Bay. A proactive approach will be taken by finding out where the rubbish comes from and taking action

How are we going to do this – 1. 10 am - we will divide into 3 teams

2. measure and mark 3 areas on the beach

3. we will then pick up all the rubbish in the 3 areas

4. time for a break and have a BBQ supplied by Highton.

5. now we will lay out all our rubbish on 3 separate tarps

6. lastly we will count all the different types of rubbish and record it on the survey sheet and send the results to the Eco Centre.

Because of the holidays please email Eeon re your attendance and any queries eeondm@gmail.com
