Tree’s company – planting at Anglesea
The Club’s 4 October tree planting working bee was attended by Rotarians Tony Alsop, Robert Wheeler, Peter Funston, Graham Thomson, Chris Alsop, Adrian Innes, Judy Innes, Janine Koch, Robyn McLean, Jenny Acopian, Alan Hoyle, Keith Dawson, David Sykes, Robyn Campbell and Laurent Franklin and family with guests Phoebe Knight, David McCormack and Bryce Hutton
The participants gathered at Eumarrella Scout Camp at 9.00 am and PP Tony Alsop took them through the induction process and pointed out risks and instructed all to maintain physical distancing and keep masks on.
The group planted nearly 200 trees - watered in and guards on. A great effort by all and completed by 12pm so everyone home for lunch.
Peter Funston thanks all who attended for another successful tree planting day.
