One of Rotary's areas of focus continues to be the Environment, and the Rotary Club of London (RCL) supports this focus by funding and actively planting trees at a selected site. This will be our fourth planting, having previously completed spring tree plantings along the Hyde Park Rotary Link in northwest London, along the busy walkway in central London at Greenway Park, and around the border of Pincombe Pond (stormwater pond) located just behind 3150 Wonderland Road South. This year, we will be planting along the southern border of Genevive Park, located at 70 Genevive Crescent just north of Oxford Street, west of Highbury Ave., and east of Victoria Dr.
We will need between 30 and 35 volunteer planters. The event will run from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 26th.
We need all volunteers to sign up for this project as we need to provide ReForest London with a list of our "Tree Planters" by/before the middle of April. So.... Please don't delay; sign up for this RCL service project now. Here is the Registration Link to sign up:
Once we have our participation list, more details will be provided as we approach the day of Tree Planting.

Apr. 28, 2025
IN PERSON meeting at the Western Fairgrounds in the GROVE MEETING ROOM #1 from 11:30am for fellowship with buffet lunch as of 11:45 with Club meeting from 12:00 to 1:00 pm. Terry Peters is a relocated Kiwi who has been a Professor at Western and the Robarts Research Institute for the past 28 years. However, he has enjoyed Emeritus status for the past six years, meaning that he still turns up to his office but doesn’t get paid! He joined Rotary last year to provide a way of getting more involved in the community outside of academia. He has also been associated with Climate Action London for the past 10 years or so. During Earthfest day last year, Terry was manning a Climate Action London booth that happened to be next to David Knoppert’s Rotary display, where he highlighted a project on Sun Bucket Solar cooking in Kenya. A conversation with David led to Terry being invited to serve on the Executive of the District 6330 Environment Committee. He’s here today to tell us about what this committee is up to. |
