Last year in 2017/18 we promoted a District wide Chalange from RI President Ian Riseley. “Every Rotarian Plant (or plan to plant) a Tree By Earth Day, 22 April 2018”.  Across the District 6380 a large percentage of our Clubs did just that with the total number adding up to over 3350 trees – over 2 trees per member on average!
Thank You

A word from Past RI President Ian Risely
 
 
Dear Barry (Fraser)
 
President Ian Riseley wanted Rotarians to look towards the environment so he created “The Rotary International President's Tree Planting Challenge 2017-18!”  Rotarians around the world enthusiastically took President Riseley's tree planting challenge to heart, placing service above self by serving the environment and planting many millions of trees.  Healthy trees are the foundation for a healthy environment and a healthy environment will create a healthy community.
The Environmental Sustainability Rotarian Action Group (ESRAG) would like to recognize your district for its contribution to President Riseley's 1.2 Million Tree Planting Challenge.  We are enclosing with this note a Certificate of Appreciation commemorating your district's participation in President Riseley's tree planting challenge.   ESRAG's hope is that President Riseley’s Tree Planting Challenge will serve as the starting point for Rotarians around the world to work to improve the environment using the premise of environmental sustainability.
Thank you again for supporting President Ian Riseley's tree planting Initiative and the environment.
Best regards,
   Peter
