  1. Fred Hollows built something remarkable but its future is under threat
    By Catherine James and Rachel Kelly

    Sixty years after Fred Hollows ventured into the outback to save the sight of thousands, a devoted team of specialists fears the life-changing work he started might not survive if governments cannot see past a funding blind spot.

    Come Celebrate Earth Day in Saco!

    April 24 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm

    "Registration is NOW OPEN!

    Each year, the Saco Parks & Recreation Department offers an opportunity to bring the community together to clean up and prepare the local green spaces and parks for spring and summer! It is now more important than ever to focus on our green space, clean energy, eliminating waste, and becoming an eco-friendly community.

    "#ecomaine is proud to be part of this year’s celebration! Stop by our table at the #SacoCommunityCenter at the start of the day to pick up #recycling resources, meet our education team, and learn about the sustainable waste programs available to Saco residents. At the end of the cleanup, we’ll be weighing the trash collected from parks, trails, and open spaces across the city so volunteers can see the real impact their community made together.

    "Looking to get involved? Join your neighbors to volunteer in Saco and help clean up and prepare local parks for spring and summer. Duties include #TrashPickUp, #weeding, #mulching, raking, and more. This event is (light) rain or shine!

  5. New York Groove: Take inspiration from ‘70s New Yorkers and get really into trees this spring. “In 1976, a group of volunteers and block associations got together, taught themselves how to prune branches and fertilize tree beds, and told the city they would take over maintaining their local street trees…. That effort grew into the organization Trees New York, and its signature Citizen […]

  9. #NatureSocietySingapore #Rewilding Project

    "Would you like to do your part in making #Singapore a greener space and spend some time to soak in the benefits of #MotherNature?

    "Our Rewilding Project is one of Nature Society Singapore’s (NSS) signature programmes. This project is in collaboration with NParks’ #OneMillionTrees Movement along the #RailCorridor (North).

    "Our main aim is to fulfill the goal of having the Rail Corridor as a conduit for plants and wildlife and also to provide a continuous canopy cover.

    "This increases the opportunities to bring back rare species and contributes to carbon sequestration and storage along this stretch of potential green space.

    "We are encouraging our NSS members and members of the public to be involved in the whole process of tree planting. These processes involve grass & weed clearance, site maintenance and of course, tree planting."

  12. Linocut stamped bag I made at printmaking workshop in the morning. It was lots of fun creating usable art in the orchard.
    I stayed for the volunteers work party after. River, #WellandCommunityOrchard coordinator, gave me a lift home.

    Will update more, after I get some food & can rest a little.

  13. As some of you may know I'm helping get @sheffieldmaskbloc up and running but handling funds is a potential challenge. Therefore I've decided to... #AskFedi of course! For those of you involved in #MaskBlocs or #MutualAid in general, particularly in the UK, how have you managed donations and funds? Personal accounts are not only individual responsibility rather than collective, but also not appropriate for people like me who are #SelfEmployed and/or on #UniversalCredit and other forms of social security! Any ideas? We don't want the mask bloc to be a formalised bureaucratic group! So it's a little difficult for it to have a bank account lolz #funds #funding #volunteering #donations
