S94 Application

At the TSCA committee meeting we decided that since there is no
single tree-planting project that has come together to use the S94 funds
committed by council, that it was better to use the funds for a number of
smaller projects, than to leave them sitting for ever in council. So
....

We will make the decision at the October GM as to how to
spend the funds, based on plans/proposals for one or more projects presented at
that meeting. Anyone who has a regeneration project that could use some of these
funds can put in a proposal. You can assume that TSCA will provide volunteers to
do the planting, but plans should include how the project will be maintained,
i.e. it IS possible that a proposal could include $$ for maintaining the area
planted.

It is expected that proposals will be prefered
that:

• include a commitment from someone to look after the
  trees as a volunteer
  
• have benefit to the broader Tyagarah community (human
  and non-human) for example planting in publicly accessible or visible areas,
  and wildlife corridors.
  
• are supported by more than one resident, for example
  a number of neighbors.
  
• that come from financial members (note annual
  memberships ran out in July!)
  
• that include a map (could be quite basic) showing
  where they are
  
• are received well before the
  meeting for circulating and review by the sub-committee. You can send them to
  "TSCA Tree proposals", Lot 1 Prestons Lane, Tyagarah NSW 2481 or drop them into
  the Gondwana community house.

We have proposals
so far for tree planting around the hall, and a plan for weeding/revegetation
around the picnic area.
