National Tree PLanting Day with Friends of Pledger Wetlands

Today was national Tree Planting Day, so Akela arranged for the Cubs to do a joint activity with the Friends of Pledger Wetlands to join in their tree planting activity. Friends of Pledger Wetlands do a environmental activity on the last Sunday of each month (except December) and this was the second activity we had done with them this year. This activity, not only were Mawson Lakes Cub Pack represented, but also the Mawson Lakes Girl Guides, and the tree planting of 350 trees got planted quicker than the time allowed.

 The rain held off on the day, but we are now just hoping for rain in the days that follow so that the trees have a chance to really get a decent start.

The Cubs who attended seem to have a great time, so we are hoping to be able to take part in more activities with Friends of Pledger Wetlands.

Mulching with Friends of Pledger Wetlands

Today, the Cubs and Akela joined Friends of Pledger Wetlands to do some Mulching in the lead up to the planting season. It was also to help ensure that the plants that have recently been planted have a good chance of ensuring the rain that will occur in the coming months will have the cover to keep the water where it is needed.

The Cubs really enjoyed the activity and even the brother and father who joined us for the activity got involved and help ensure the piles of mulch went down quickly.

Overall, a good day and we are looking forward to working with Friends of Pledger Wetlands again soon.

Clean Up Australia Day

Today, Mawson Lakes Cubs and I went and participated in a Clean Up Australia Day activity. We joined in with the Friends of Pledger Wetlands with their clean up. Many hands made light work and it certainly help get the work done
