Rotary Club of Tauranga Sunrise has a new and very active Environment Committee
Activities of the new Environment Committee:

  • Pest Control in Kopurererua Valley: we’re part of the Rotary Clubs of Tauranga drive to establish and maintain bait-lines in K-Valley.
  • Students 4 the Environment: This project involves monthly Sunday morning events (for instance: planting, weeding, trap-line management…) organised specially for high school and tertiary students. So far we’ve co-hosted three events and an amazing group of students, dedicated to actively mitigating climate change linked environmental damage.
