Heiwa Rotary Survivor Tree Mission:

To enable Rotarians to advance World Peace by planting Hiroshima survivor plants and bringing awareness of the dangers of nuclear weapons.

Our Story:

Heiwa: Rotary Hiroshima Survivor Trees (Heiwa) is a coalition of Rotary clubs in Japan and the US. We distribute survivor seeds and plants from Hiroshima with the message of peace, hope, and survivability. Our members include a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and Hiroshima bomb survivors.

Heiwa grew from the vision of its parent, Green Legacy Hiroshima (GLH), working under its guidance. Now Heiwa harvests survivor seeds and grows plants in its own greenhouses in Hawaii and California to share with Rotary clubs all over the world. Heiwa is happy to carry on the tradition started by GLH. 

Heiwa has made Rotary presentations at the RI President's peace conferences in Ontario USA, Seoul, and Atlanta and Vancouver B.C..  Each time receiving more requests from Rotarians for our peace seeds and trees. In Atlanta, we distributed over 250 seeds and plants, including to The Carter Center. In June 2022, Rotary International President Shaker Mehta will be planting a Heiwa tree at the convention in Houston. 

Don’t miss this important presentation!  We look forward to your joining us and, as always we value your questions and comments.

Best Regards,

Dotty Cline
