Welcome to Arbor Week 2009. Unfortunately due to the withdrawal of funding from the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD), Natural Resources Conservation League has been unable to continue with the giving of grants to schools across Victoria. NRCL is disappointed that it cannot continue to help schools financially and provide guidance with the planting of habitats within their school areas.
However, this small setback has given us a chance to change our direction slightly and NRCL can now announce that a new partnership has formed with Greening Australia and The Shire of Yarra Ranges and will now see our week long celebrations commence right here on the steps of our new Environment Discovery Centre here in Warburton.
Five lucky schools from the Shire of Yarra Ranges will be selected and will be provided with a Free Inside Forests Excursion Program, Free Travel to our Centre here at Warburton and the day will culminate with the coming together of NRCL, Greening Australia and The Shire of Yarra Ranges overseeing the planting of a selected site on the banks of the Yarra River.
NRCL hopes to build on this annual event together with our new partners to make Arbor Week 2010 bigger and to include more schools in the future. The sourcing of future partnerships for this event is invited and we thank you for your continued interest in raising awareness of the importance of Eco systems and Habitats.
