Thank you for all you did in 2010, and here's to a great 2011!
A run-down parcel of land on the side of the Strzelecki Ranges has been transformed by a visionary landowner and Greenfleet.
Adam and Debbie Tyson’s property in southern Victoria was once covered with a mosaic of rainforest, including 90-metre tall Mountain Ash trees. As the agriculturalists and loggers moved into the region in the late 19th century, the land was cleared and less than a fifth of the original forest remains standing today.
“When I bought the land, it was overgrazed and run down with erosion and weeds. It had very little remanent vegetation left,” Adam explains.
The sparsely-forested property’s steep slopes and frequent heavy rainfall also made it prone to devastating landslides.
Since 2011, the Tysons and Greenfleet have planted approximately 14,880 native trees.
“We’ve seen many improvements over that time. The trees are thriving and there is a noticeable increase in birdlife,” Adam says.
“The trees are certainly helping with the erosion – and we haven’t had a landslide for a couple of seasons now.”

The Make a Difference Area at Summer Camp is located just outside the main walkway to the Moonshine Stage and hosts a wide variety of nonprofit organizations. We hope that the education these groups provide at their booths and during panel discussions in the Soulshine Tent will increase your awareness of important environmental and human rights issues, and inspire you to get involved and take action in a positive way…both locally and around the world!
Received some books for the book drive we're doing for establishing a library in Lesotho, Africa. We hope to collect 1,000 books by September 30th.
At that point we will sort and then ship them to the African Library Project. They, in turn, will ship them to the library we will be establishing in Lesotho with the books we collect.

I'm a pint low today for a good cause, and vampires weren't involved! A good friend asked us to participate in the local Fire Department's blood drive, so we did. A single pint of blood can actually help up to three other people. The process is fairly simple, and other than a slight prick, painless. Consider becoming a donor, or if it's been awhile (like it had for me), keep your eye out for an opportunity. It's just one more way we all can make a difference.

Violence is never the answer! Although us men are not the sole perpetrators of sexual violence and abuse we do have a moral responsibility to not only ensure the safety of those around us but also to educate and remove any thought that this type of behaviour is okay in our society.
I know there...
From a conversation over lunch in early 2011, I wrote these words on a napkin.
These words describe what I'm all about. Looking at a very high level at my life, these words make up the sentence that describes my life.
Over 4,500 native trees were direct seeded in 2007 (with further replant in 2009 and 2010) on this 5.6 ha site located northwest of Dunkeld, in the southern Grampians of Western Victoria.
The site was revegetated to protect sheep from the elements as well as re-introducing biodiversity to vast grazing tracts and assisting with rehabilitating eroding creeklines.
