Scouts Will Plant Trees
Scouts and cubs of the Rapanui district will clean up the Evans Pass reserve and plant new trees on Saturday morning. The reserves department of the city council will provide the trees for about 50 scouts and cubs who will work under the supervision of parents and scout officials. The District Commissioner of Scouting (Mr H. E. Collins) said yesterday that the main purpose of the exercise was to make the boys realise that reserves and the trees on them were the result of someone’s work and that they did not just happen to be there. He said the tree-planting and cleaning up was held every year about Arbor Day and would have been held a fortnight ago but for the bad weather.
