President Neville recently announced the Boards decision to donate our surplus trailer/caravan to the Phillip Island Landcare Group.
 
Here is an extract from the recipients February newsletter which records the pleasure our donation has given and the likelihood of the trailer being fairly busy in its new home..
 
"The Phillip Island Landcare Group recently received a new trailer from the Rotary Club of Central Melbourne – Sunrise Inc, which was no longer required after the project it was used for finished. The trailer is much more than just a trailer – a trailer-caravan that perfectly suits the needs of the group. It will have two main purposes – 1: For the groups’ tree planting days and 2: As a promotional caravan on other community days.
 
Our first community day to launch this new caravan is March 3 at the Phillip Island Nature Parks Open Day and will be on display from 2.00pm to 4.00pm at the Koala Conservation Centre. The Phillip Island Landcare Group host at least three planting days each year on the Island when up to 1000 trees are planted and a BBQ is provided for the volunteers. Everything needed can now be stored and brought out from the new trailer. 
 
The Group is investigating use of this trailer-caravan to other like minded community groups here on the island or other landcare groups within the Bass Coast Landcare Network. Our trailer will be securely stored in our new Shed (which has just been approved) at the Nature Park’s Koala Conservation Centre."
