🌳Tree Planting Day⚜️
Sat 4th July 2020 @Lightning Park, Noranda
Our Scouts group had been looking forward to our first unofficial foray into face to face activities after months of Scouting@home🏠. We joined BLIA, YAD, MP for Perth Mr Patrick Gorman, Councillor Sally Palmer from City of Bayswater and Friends of Lightning Park at this annual event to plant trees🌳.
Whilst the intention is to regenerate the reserve, it is also a good opportunity for our youths to learn about the positive impacts of such acts. With a regenerated native bush, it can become habitats for local wildlife🐾 and prevent further soil erosion.
From our efforts all morning☀️🌈, digging away and planting, the entire contingent which we were part of planted over 4,000 saplings🌱!!
Never the less, all work and no play 🏏just doesn't sit with our youths.. it was not long during their tea break, the Scout youths decided to enjoy the outdoors, running 🏃♂️🏃♀️and romping around the oval⛳️.
This Tree planting activity is an annual event that we all look forward to every year, as it gives us an opportunity to give back to the wonderful local community 🏘and have fun at the same time!
Thanks to all who attended including parents, helpers and leaders!
