R OTARY E NVIRONMENTAL P LANTING SCHEME   -                                                                                                                                                                                                                  ROTARY TREE PLANTING DAY                 Sunday 8^th August 2010.

As part of our on going R.E.P.S. program to help reduce "the salinity problem" in the Goulburn/Murray River System by planting trees and increasing the areas capacity to recover the bio-diversity capacity to restart the natural environmental cycle in this area; the president and members of the Rotary Club of Manningham Inc. District 9180 invite your club members, families, friends and interested groups to take part in our tree planting day 8^th August 2010, where 9000 trees can be placed on 4 sites around the Glenaroua-Broadford district.

The area we have chosen to work in (10 year programme) is the Sugarloaf Catchment, a large area feeding the creeks that flow into the GoulburnRiver, then the Murray River. In normal conditions thirty (30) tonnes of salt per square kilometre leave this area annually.

R.E.P.S aims to reduce the salinity at the source, which is known as the recharge areas. Where the rain water enters the soil, absorbs the salt and carries it into the creeks and streams that then feed into the rivers and also the artesian storage (water table etc.) contributing to the devastation existing in and around Goulburn/Murray River areas.

Activity requires Teams of  3 or 4

1 Planting, 1 or 2 Placing & sinking Tree Guards, 1 Suppling Tube guards, Stakes etc.

Duties to be rotated between the team.
