Koala Habitat Planting Event

This year, DG Tim Keeler has asked for another D9620 Tree Planting Day Challenge to help celebrate 100 years of Rotary in Queensland by encouraging all Clubs to plant 100 trees in their local area. This is planned for Sunday 23 April.

DGE Paul Roger and DGN Sue Mulraney have already indicated that they are keen to have a District Tree Planting Day in their years.

This event also allows all Clubs to continue to contribute to Rotary’s newest area of focus “Supporting The Environment” in their area.

For Brisbane and surrounding area Clubs, Brisbane City Council’s Offsets and Restoration Team has once again offered a venue for this year’s planting at the Secombe Street Park, Mansfield which is adjacent to last year’s planting site.

See Council Info linked on the left for more details.

As noted, the target for the day is to plant 3000 trees as well as installation of some wildlife habitat elements. For the non Brisbane Clubs, if any of your Club members happen to be in Brisbane on the day, they would be more than welcome to join the team at Mansfield.

Karana Bellbowrie Rotary Club will once again be providing morning tea (including the very popular scones/jam/cream) for everyone.

PLEASE LET US KNOW

We know that there are some Clubs who are planning or are involved in continuing their own tree planting projects. Please let us know about your Club’s tree planting project (photos please) so that we can compile a record of the overall District response to the Tree Planting Challenge.

A big thank you if your Club has already let us know that you will be involved in a tree planting day in some way.
