Working with the weather is never an easy task
During the dry season in the Daintree rainforest, which usually runs
from April to December, the ARF works hard at rehabilitating the
many rainforest blocks it has acquired.
However, by the time September comes around, 36 degree Celcius days
and high humdity makes tree planting more difficult. It is during
the September to December period that the Foundation starts seed
collecting for the next year’s planting and keeps on top of the never
ending weed control, site and machinery maintenance.
The July to September period this year saw a new milestone achieved
with Angsana Great Barrier Reef Resort (part of the Banyan Tree Group)
planting its 10,000th tree in the Daintree on ARF land; and the Westpac
Bank group from Far North Queensland came back to plant another
200 trees on their growing rainforest reserve at Cape Tribulation.
