Ocean Grove has become a little bit greener after the Rotary Club of Ocean Grove planted 100 new seedlings.
Rotary club members planted 100 eucalypt tube stock seedlings on Wallington Road on Saturday, April 30 to commemorate the Rotary Club’s centenary in Australia.
The planted eucalypt seedlings were Bellarine Yellow Gum, Coastal Manna Gum, Red River Gum and Swamp Gum.
Club member Kath Venters said the planting was a collaborative effort, with the Greater Geelong council identifying the location and mowing, spraying and mulching the site.
“Members of Bellarine Landcare and the Bellarine Catchment Network were involved with the planning and execution of the planting,” she said.
“Twenty Rotarians and friends were on site to learn how to plant seedlings and then carried out the project.”
Rotary District 9780 also contributed partial funding towards the tree planting project.
