Rotary rowan tree receives careIn 2021, club member Mary Spinks, who was then club president, planted a rowan tree in Oaken Grove Park to mark worldwide Rotary Day which is on 23 February, and also to mark Rotary's commitment to the environment.
Last week Mary and club member Maria Scavetta returned to the park to give the tree some much needed care. It now has more support, some nourishment and less competition from weeds and grass. |

Helping the local community is one of the primary roles of Rotary and you may have seen Rotarians at work supporting communities without even realising it.
