ACF Perth July Meeting special guest Bruce Ivers

Dear members for our July meeting we have a special guest speaker, Bruce Ivers.

About Bruce

Bruce has been involved in landcare work for 25 years, the last 13 running Trees Australia. He grew up on a farm near Kojonup, Western Australia (Kaneang Country), and ran the family farm for 10 years. In 2003, the farm was sold and in 2008, at the invitation of the Ardross Primary School Principal, Bruce moved his back yard nursery to the school grounds and started teaching the students to grow seedlings. The same year he began taking city kids tree planting in the country.

Bruce holds a Master of Leadership and Management degree (Curtin University) and is a Rotary Paul Harris Fellow.  https://www.bruceivers.com.au/

Tree planting

Since 2008, Bruce has worked with schools, farmers, corporations, community groups and landcare organisations to plant over 400,000 seedlings with over 5,500 school students. He organises day trips and multiple day camps in metro and rural sites. There are programs for Kindergarten to Year 12 students, but also corporations and community groups.

Planting has taken place in the Perth metro area, Myalup Beach in the south, north to New Norcia and southeast to Pingelly and Katanning.

To hear more about rewilding Perth and and an important role for schools please join us.  Zoom invite is https://acf.zoom.us/j/97754934080 for those who can’t make it in person.
