Keen Interested in Monarto's Planting Festival

 

An upcoming four day planting event in Monarto has drawn great interest from the community.

The Frahns Farm Planting Festival is being held on the last two weekends of June, thanks to Bio·R, Landscapes SA - Murraylands and Riverland and many enthusiastic volunteers.

As part of a decade-long restoration initiative, the aim is to increase coverage of native vegetation across the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges, from 10 per cent to about 30 per cent - a staggering 150,000 hectares of extra habitat.

The event coincides with the Shoots N Roots festival on June 26 featuring live music, fire and camping under the Monarto stars.

Registrations for the planting festival on the 26th are exhausted, so interested parties are being encouraged to register for another day on Eventbrite (if going to Shoots N Roots to book on the Sunday). However, organisers say they may release more Saturday tickets in the near future.

The 2019 BioR Planting Festival at Frahn's Farm brought together more than 250 volunteers (pictured above) who planted over 5,300 plants.

End Polio Now

 
In 1985 Rotary launched PolioPlus to immunize every child in the world against polio. Working with our partners and members of the global health community, together we will end polio.
 
Through the science of vaccines, Rotary & partners have saved nearly 19 million children from becoming paralyzed by polio. Learn more about our work to End Polio Now and how you can get involved: https://on.rotary.org/3eqtrrr
 

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years, and we’ve made incredible progress in the fight to rid the world of it forever.

As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've helped to reduced polio cases by more than 99.9 percent.

It’s crucial to eradicate polio from the last two countries where it remains endemic and to keep other countries polio-free.

If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

What is polio?

Polio, or poliomyelitis, is a paralyzing and potentially deadly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. The virus spreads from person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can then attack the nervous system.
