A beautiful morning for Trees for Families, our Rotary Dunedin partnership with Keep Dunedin Beautiful. Sixty trees were planted on Sunday, Father’s Day, at West Harbour. Everyone enjoyed the still quiet morning and loved their opportunity to celebrate special family members and at the same time give to the evergrowing native plantings and gorgeous harbour side landscape being created in this space. With the Rotary Gazebo looking proud and Keep Dunedin Beautiful banners in sight, members of the public gathered for the formal opening before planting. Acknowledgments of thanks for the trees, for the organisation of the event and blessings for the trees were given by Jan Tucker of Keep Dunedin Beautiful, Dunedin city councillor Marie Laufiso representing the DCC, and our own club President, Gordon Tucker.

It has taken the E wash club 5 years to develop suitable systems and a data base of expertise to support the projects. As Chris said they light the fuse and then the Rotary Clubs at ground zero manage and run the project. Wash Talent Mapping is part of their brief where they as a group are working to categorise the skill sets of 1.3 million Rotarians into groups of specialist consultants who can provide pro-bono services to allocated projects. These experts with the club are able to conduct water quality studies ,supervise teams of workers to capture water from wells and rivers, analyse efficiency of water delivery structures such as dams,canals,pipes and install or repair sanitary or stormwater sewer structures or pipe sytems.They are a unique club focussed on specific skills and are based here in Dunedin of District 9980.
