On Sunday, 28 July, members of the Lower Burdekin Scouts participated in National Tree Planting Day alongside the Burdekin Landcare and other local community members. The event was a great opportunity for the Scouts to engage in environmental stewardship and community service.
The day began with a focus on sun safety, ensuring all participants were well-prepared for the outdoor activity. The Scouts and other attendees were then given a tour of the Landcare facility, including an introduction to their plant nursery and worm farm.
With great enthusiasm, the Scouts joined in the tree planting efforts. They dug out the soil, carefully planted the new trees, mulched around them, and provided a thorough watering. The group worked diligently for approximately two hours, contributing to the local environment.
After the hard work, everyone enjoyed a BBQ sausage and a drink, generously provided by Landcare, before heading home. The event not only allowed the Scouts to contribute to the community and environment but also gave them the chance to earn a badge. To qualify, they will write a report detailing their experiences and what they learned during the Landcare project.
Contributed with thanks to Chris Berkery.
The Scouts were gloved up and ready to start planting last Sunday.
