Tagging and GPS'ing trees

By Roger Phillips | Project Leader and CEO

Hi Mates,

Well, the rains finally came in around the end of October and all is right with our rehabilitation areas. In the Mansford Reserve, we lost under 12 trees out of a total of 2,000 plus recently planted trees. This great stat is due to the care the trees got while in our nursery and our watering efforts during the bad dry spell.

With the rainy season now upon us, we are busy weeding the site and identifying the trees with small numbered stakes in the ground. We are also GPS’ing all the principal trees.

***We could always use a few extra hands so if any of you have an urge to get your hands and knees dirty this holiday season and hear the rainforest calling your name, good on ya! There is always work to be done.

Thank you for a great year and helping us accomplish so much on the ground. Please let us know if you would like more information on our efforts, project and upcoming operations.

Cheers,

Roger
