Revegetation and Tree Plantings
The club has been involved for many years in revegetation projects in conjunction with our local schools. Most of these projects are ongoing. We have planted at Port Lincoln, Langhorne Creek, Milang, Finniss River and Scales Park. In addition, we have donated trees to the fire-ravaged areas of Sampson Flat and Pinery area.
The Vale Park Primary students have been revegetating the old Walkerville dump site at Scales Park and it is slowly starting to look good.

The Wilderness School students have been involved in the whole process, from planting the seeds to planting the young trees on-site at Milang, Port Lincoln, Cudlee Creek and Langhorne Creek. The seed propagation is done at the Walkerville Council Depot, the site of our shade house. Approx 7000 seeds from native species are planted each year.
