T.R.E.E.S. Initiative

The TREES Initiative will be a major effort focused on improving the environment in the Southern Hills and around the world. 

It will create a central theme for a range of additional future projects, and it will help Tully Rotary connect with the community.  

Our main fundraiser is our golf tournament.  This year it will be on May 16th 2026.

These projects include:

-Operation Pollination

It is simple to do, and costs nothing.  Basically all we need to do is come up with a pollinator resolution, which is just our pledge to protect and encourage pollinators in our area. A project like this can provide interesting and engaging PR for our project, as well as working towards our goal. https://operationpollination.net. 

-Adopt-A-Highway.  We have adopted a section of Route 11 in Tully.  We meet periodically at the United Community Church to care for our section.  Check our calendar for dates and times.

-Earth Day Clean was moved to a beautiful sunny Monday morning for our group!!

-Global Grant Project-Our Global Grant to plant and confidently grow nearly 9,000 avocado trees in Kenya is progressing well. Over 5,000 trees have been planted at over 50 Vocational Training Centers.  Kenyan Rotarians spent World Environment Day planting 220 avocado trees at Bungoma National Polytechnic Institute which has dedicated 10 acres to growing Global Grant provided avocado trees to incorporate in Agriculture education programs. Three hundred more will be planted in the next few days.

-Rotary Row & our Pollinator Garden & Micro Forest.  We have purchased several large maple trees and planted them along the walking path on Meetinghouse Rd.  Along the path we are working on adding a pollinator garden and a micro forest.

-In the future, a project to create and maintain hiking trails, especially around Friendship Falls on Woodmancy Road, may be an option. The DEC will likely require several years to acquire the land from Honeywell and so this is not an immediate project.
