Our Environmental Projects
The Canberra Sundowners are particularly interested in supporting and improving our environment through a range of projects and activities. Some of these are outlined below:
Clean Up Australia Day
We regularly support Clean Up Australia Day events. For a number of years we participated in Clean Up Australia Day, joining in with the Ahma
diyya Muslim Association Canberra cleaning up the top of Mount Ainslie. More recently we have run our own events. It is very satisfying to be able to improve our city's health, albeit in a small way.

The Plalkin' Our World (https://portal.clubrunner.ca/9728/stories/plalkin-my-world) is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Jerrabomberra involving collecting rubbish in a range of areas as a routine and fun activity.
Tree Planting
We have supported our parent club, the Rotary Club of Canberra Sunrise in planting about 400 tree seedlings near Denman Prospect.
Adopt a Tree Certificates for Guest Speakers
Over 2021-23 we purchased a tree through Rotary's 'Adopt-a-Tree' program and presented the adoption certificate to each of our guest speakers at meetings. There are tree planting activities for all of these adopted trees around NSW.
Lids 4 Kids Lid Sorting
Lids 4 Kids rescues plastic bottle lids from landfill and recycles them to protect our environment for future generations. The cleaned and sorted lids are used by a host of community and industry groups and repurposed into new and useful items.
Supporting Jerrabomberra Wetlands
We have participated in working bees and undertaken tree planting activities at the Jerrabomberra Wetlands and each year like to clean up our ACT.
