The
Men of The Trees, Inc.
This amazing organisation is a non-profit,
non-political, international society and for over 77 years has been
dedicated to the planting, maintenance and protection of trees.
Above all, they aim to foster a unique sense of respect and caring
for trees within the community.
The Men of the Trees, Queensland, Australia.
The Queensland Branch has earned the respect
of the government, the community, enterprises and organisations.
They have instigated and been involved in a myriad of regeneration
projects in parks and degraded rural and urban areas. An immense
amount of research and planning is undertaken to ensure the area
being regenerated will receive tree species best suited to the stability
of the area, promoting a beautiful environment and a flourishing
habitat for flora and fauna.
The Men of The Trees are committed to the
education of tree conservation. Workshops are held on propagation,
seed collection and care, and tree planting. Their tree raising
kits are sent to numerous organisations and schools both local and
rural, including the Distance Education Centre. The organisation
also provides short-term work for unemployed youth as well as providing
a work site for those performing community service orders. They
also concentrate their efforts on the maintenance and survival of
the trees that are planted.
