Adopt a Tree
What is Rotary Adopt A Tree?
 
It is simple. This program offers people in the community the opportunity to contribute $5 per tree through the Rotary website www.rotaryadoptatree.org.au to adopt a tree.
 
The funds from donations will then contribute to the planting of trees in fire and flood ravaged zones across the NSW and ACT. The planting areas will be determined by experts, including Landcare and Rotary will organise plantings under their guidance.

Renamed the Aussie Peace Walk the inaugural event of 2021 was a huge success with over AUD26,000 raised for Rotary Give Every Child A Future.
