From Tiny Seeds Mighty Trees Grow
From Tiny Seeds Mighty Trees Grow is a district award-winning project of the Rotary Club of Balwyn. Following the devastating bushfires in the summer of 2020, which destroyed so much of East Gippsland’s vegetation and bushland, many club members volunteered to germinate seeds.
The seedlings were carefully nurtured, with some members taking their seedling trays with them on summer holidays. As a result, 985 seedlings were delivered to Mallacoota in June 2021. The club is continuing the project and aims to deliver 2,000 seedlings this year.
