Over 100 members and helpers from the five Rotary Clubs in Napier turned up at West Shore last Sunday on a very variable day in a combined Rotary Club effort to help plant over 347 trees and shrubs to beautify the pathway and show Rotary’s positive action to help minimise global warming. Mayor Bill Dalton was there to help along with Rotary District Governor Leonie Tisch and the work got well underway after past Mayor Barbara Arnott gave some history of the pathway (it was under Barbara’s term as Mayor that the pathway project was initiated).
The weather was kind and work was all over after 1 1/2 hours, many thanks to all who coordinated and helped with the first of three sections to be planted under the watchful eye of Napier Parks Asset Planner Jason Tickner. Left: Napier Mayor Bill Daulton "digging in".
