PROJECT GROWTREE
|
 | | Planting over 2 million trees is the aim of Project Growtree.
|
| Project Growtree is an exciting environmental initiative conducted by clubs in Rotary District 9800 in conjunction with North Central Catchment Authority and local Land Care groups.
| The aim is to plant 2 million plus trees in an ongoing project, the focus of Project Growtree on regions identified as "hot spots" for salinity control.
|
|
|
The project requires the assistance of many people; Rotarians, their friends and families, and other community groups are needed to reach the project's aims. Similar projects are being undertaken by Rotary clubs throughout Victoria, with volunteers needed to provide labour initially for seed collection and later for seed and seedling planting.
| Project Growtree is compliant with the Victorian Government RiverManagement Strategy, and has been thus far successful, with a pilotprogram in the Bendigo region (identified as under-threat from salinityproblems) having an observable impact on salinity levels.
