Potting the mangroves
One of the trial nurseriesWorld Forestry Day has been celebrated the world over for the past 30 years to remind communities of the importance of forests and the benefits gained from them.
We are celebrated World Forestry Day by launching a low cost mangrove revegetation program at Tutu Beach, Avakeikei Beach and the Royal Papua Yacht Club .
We began the day with speakers from Rotary, WWF, and a Community representative. Volunteers were be split into two groups then organised into teams to plant mangrove seedlings food and refreshments were served after the planting. All were welcome to join.
This was a great day, we all got burnt in the hot sun, but it was well worth it. Port Moresby used to have great mangrove forests surrouning our coastal shores, but over time people have depleted the forests. The sea was not visible from the shore in some places.
