Adopt a tree on 11 November, this Saturday... 9 am !
An hour (maximum 2) of your time.
Come and join us to
commemorate the 11 victims of the landslide and at the same time make our town
a bit greener.
The Penang State
Government intends to plant 10.000 trees on that day, 11-11, and TBRA will be
helping to do its part. We have received 30 trees from MBPP.

Initially we hoped to
plant them on the "Sore Thumb", our future Coastal Public Park but we
are having serious access problems.
So, then we decided to plant them at the landslide site as a
way for Tanjong Bungah to remember the 11 workers who died in a sudden and
awful (and unnecessary) way right here in our own town.
Tools and water
The trees we will receive
are both fairly tall (5') and small saplings so there is something for everyone
because we will need to dig holes to plant them. We’ll collect as many tools as
possible but if you have a hoe or a spade, please bring it. Also bring
your own water. We don’t want to leave plastic bottles behind.
Please join us this Sat. morning 11 -11 as of 9 am
Venue: Lemba Permai
Lorong Lemba 3, pass TAR College, keep going
straight, just opposite the now closed construction site;
or, if you come from other side: pass Tenby
School and turn right at T-junction.
