In Australia

Where: Sydney, Australia
Who: 'Planet Patrol' which was started by Imogen, Freya and Alastair Wadlow over four years ago. They aim to 'educate, motivate and activate' other kids into protecting our planet. They run regular bushcare and eco-educational programs and run their own two websites: www.planetpatrol.info (for kids 8-12yrs) and www.i-fink.com (for kids 12-16yrs) which they also write themselves.
What they did: With some friends, they planted 60 beautiful Australian native trees. They especially liked that the theme this year was 'native' as they have been working hard to eradicate privet (a noxious introduced weed) from an area of bushland which was said to be 'beyond help' by the Council and bushcare groups. The kids were given permission to 'try' and have now removed around 40% of the privet through organising community bushcare days and are slowly restocking it with Australian natives which are grown by the Council nursery especially for the area from seeds taken from adjoining areas to ensure only trees native to the particular area are established. Native wildlife is returning to the area and open areas are now filled with native wild plants instead of introduced weeds.
The trees were planted in green bags to stop the local bunny population eating them. Planet Patrol have just contributed to the National Australian Rabbit Scan research by spending a weekend counting rabbits!
We are just having some nice rain so the 60 trees have a great start to their lives, even so, each tree was planted with water-saving crystals as things can get very dry during the summer months in Sydney.

Members of our club with the help of other volunteers of the organization have put into the ground 15 new plants, in the yard of orphan children care centre.

From INDIA

Dear Mr. Mika & other friends related to ENO.

 

We, in India celebrated the World Forest Day with our students getting them to spend the whole day in the forest, making their own huts with their bed sheets and bamboos. In this way we wanted that they may come in direct contact of mother nature, and  while spending the whole day away from cell phones, TV and other household comforts of material life. They could listen the music of the birds and trees. They arranged for their meals themselves under the supervision of teachers. They also started the process of planting trees. Though the rainy season has not set in, in India so the plantation would go up to August, 2009. We shall plant two hundred fifty hard wood trees on Government barren lands near to our institution. The Distt. Forest Deptt. Roopnagar  would help us providing the plants. We hereby attached the photographs. The students belonging to snap no. 7192 – Amazon Group  stood first  for all forest activities such as searching for different kind of plants, species, woods, stones and making huts with minimum help from the forest. Group Nile , snap no. 7193 stood second & group Yangtze  snap no. 7190 stood third.

 

I hope you will find the activities very interesting. Your valuable advise is required.

From KUWAIT

The day was so excited and fun. We did it!! We planted out 10 trees at noon today 22nd May. Here are the details:

We gathered at school ( Al-Dasma Inter. School for Girls ), three teachers; a science teacher ( Mrs. Rawda Alazemy ), the Local Coordinator of UNESCO ( Mrs. Huda Dashti ) and me ( Miss Shirin AlKhass ), there were also five nine graders ( Mariam Rashed, Zainab Hayder, Fatima Al Najar, Rawan Alazemy and Laila Nabeel ) they are the group which started our urban garden along with the science teacher, by the way the garden is amazing with lots of nice vegetables.

We went together to buy the ten trees from the nurseries, we chose many kinds of trees like: figs, lemon, oranges, olives, strawberry, guava and tangerine. All of them are fruitful trees and they also suit our weather.

After buying the plants, and we went to our destination, Al Furat Kindergarten, the reason of choosing this place is to make young children take part in planting trees to feel the importance of trees to the environment and to let young children in the coming years enjoy the shade and fruit of these trees. Before we started planting trees, we talked to the young children about the importance of trees, then at noon we started planting the trees, it was fun although it was so hot.

Wishing the world a better environment.

Warm regards,

Shirin AlKhass - Kuwait

Ramey Schools Tree Planting Photos, PUERTO RICO!

We planted 3 Puerto Rican Hat Palms Sabal causiarum
The Puerto Rican Hat Palm has become a threatened species.
Because the grass is now mowed by lawn mowers instead of cut by machete, the seedlings never get a chance to grow from the mother plant.  Hence they are reproductive "dead" due to human activity.  That is why we are starting seedling and planting them when they are large enough that the lawn mowers will not cut them down.
