Plant a tree for every Rotarian

Plant a tree

AG Claire Ramsay has organisied the Dunedin clubs to join together to answer the RI President’s call for all Rotarians to plant a tree this Rotary year.  

They are going to Sinclair Wetland on Saturday 2 September to plant trees.

Claire being"a good ol' country girl" has invited Mosgiel,Taieri, Milton and Balclutha clubs to join them and make it a meet your neighbour event.   If we end up with 100+ people (great family opportunity) we should be able to create some media cover for it and profile for Rotary.

The deal is that Glen at the wetlands will provide half the trees and we buy the balance – but actually he will buy them because of the native programme at the wetlands which means not just any tree can be planted.  He gets them for between $1.15 to $8 each so it won’t be an onerous expense spread around the clubs.

As far as gear goes – Glen suggested one spade per three planters – one person digs, one person plants and one person puts the protection around the tree. A pocket knife could also be handy.

Final details re timing not established (to be confirmed) yet but it is thought we should aim to either start or finish with a lunch time BBQ/BYO. 

Our club has agreed to be involved, it is the day after the Pub night so fresh air will do you good. Please mark it your calendar as a full turn out of members would be terrific.

Planter Boxes
Planter Boxes on their way.
 
Last Saturday morning's 'to do' job,  build two planter boxes. With two retired builders, a scientist and a cocky the project was completed in 'no time'. Kevin had all the materials on hand ready to go. After deducting talking sessions and smoko breaks we were all finished in about an hour. Only one injury drew blood but a band-aid fixed that. The boxes are now ready to be filled with soil at the Silverstream School. This  project at the school will teach  and encourage students to popagate and grow a variety of plants.
