Our tidy-up dates for the next 5 months are now scheduled. The first is Saturday 15 August. We'll be meeting outside the shelter at 11.00 am and sprucing things up for a couple of hours - sweeping the paths and picking up deadwood. If time allows, we'll also mulch some of our trees and shrubs. Marie Louise will finally receive some much-needed TLC! New helpers welcome...the more the merrier! The...

As we all know, Marie Louise is home to a host of fine trees, including some rare ones. As they have reached maturity and grown in number over the years, what started out as a municipal park, has taken on the character of an arboretum, a magical tree garden. This is where many of us, as youngsters, developed a love of nature. Sadly, more and more of those trees, which were so much part of our childhood, are being damaged by youngsters who are climbing them or swinging (sometimes two or three together!) on their lower limbs. Of course, kids want to climb trees - most of us did - but they need to learn not to do anything that might cause damage, like swinging on their branches, however tempting this may be. "Hug a tree and climb with care, don't snap its branches or make a tear." Easy to remember, so perhaps a good learning tool...🙂
