Protect 100 acres of vital Australian rainforest

Hello Mates!

We at the Australian Rainforest Foundation are happy to be reporting back to you. I would like to announce that on 16 June (next Wednesday), GlobalGiving is having a Matching Day for all donations!! Please, if you are thinking about possibly donating to our project, the 16th would be a great day to do it. Also, if any of you work for a company that offers a Gift Match Program and/or a Charitable Contribution Program, donations via your employer-sponsored benefit would double (and even sometimes triple) the giving power. The ARF is also working on setting up a promotion fit for companies where the ARF would give away trips for two to Australia. Trips would include getting your hands dirty and helping us rehabilitate the rainforest, wildlife treks and of course great sightseeing of the Daintree rainforest, Great Barrier Reef and much, much more. Please contact Paul Medici, Manager of American Operations, for more details. We would love to see some of you mates out here with us!! Paul's email is medicipj2@yahoo.com

The month of May sees the beginning of the ‘dry season’ and the opportunity to prepare more of the site for August tree planting. Note the size of the trees that were planted in August 2009 and the tags at the base of the trees are GPS coordinates for survey purposes. – The 2009 trees are now over 6’ tall. Photos also show the effects of recent weed spraying and the construction of what will be walking trails and service trails to the next revegetation area. Thanks to your generous support, the site now been planted with has 4,000 trees of over 100 different rainforest species.

Cheers,

Roger
