Hiya guys

National Tree Day is setup by PlanetArk. An yearly event where 1000s of people volenteer there time to go plant trees and give something back to this planet we live on. Heres a bit of info from the website www.planetark.org:

QUOTE(www.planetark.org)
More than 350,000 volunteers celebrated National Tree Day's tenth birthday last year by giving the environment the best gift of all - the planting of one and a half million native trees and shrubs at 4,000 sites around Australia.

2,500 schools were involved in last year's event. Tree Day shows children how easy it is to help the environment, and that's what National Tree Day is all about.

Tree Day 2005 helped to repair, revegetate and restore Australia's landscape, with people from all walks of life coming together to green up Australia.

Last year, for the first time, Australians made a huge difference in their own backyards by purchasing thousands of Tree Day backyard planting packs from Coles. The planting of these local native trees will help to provide food and shelter for Australia's wildlife.

Thanks to last year's effort, the total number of trees planted since 1996 is over 9 million.
Let's make this year even better as we plant our 10 millionth tree!



This year its hapening on the 30th July just near the Adelaide airport.

I'm gonna be heading down there by myself and would love to have some of the anthemites join me not only to keep me company but to help PLANT MORE TREES!

Its not hard to find, its the road that comes off Tapleys Hill road at the traffic lights right next to Harbour Town!

If people need a lift I might be able to come get you as long as you dont live too far away.

So who wants to help? I'ld love to have company.
Let me know smile.gif
