GREEN TEAM NEWS
Back to School = new sneakers
please consider donating you old sneakers in the MORE drop off box at the municipal building
MORE is on track to plant 1 million trees by 2024. This is all possible because of your support and donations. MORE has planted 200,000 trees in 200 schoolyards across capital Accra, in Ghana West Africa. These schools now hold so much potential for learning, economic development, and environmental change. Faculty and Students are motivated to do MORE.
The immediate impact is local with long-term global change. Planting these million trees in schoolyards will produce billions of tree seeds for countrywide reforestation, which will reduce global warming, increase rainfall, reduce air pollution, provide livelihoods, and protect wildlife. Natural climate solutions can pull down (sequester) carbon and address the climate crisis.

On Tuesday, September 10, 2019 at 11:00 am, the Rockaway Valley Garden Club will host a free program entitled “Fall into Spring.” Our guest speaker will be Marc Zukovich, owner of Sterling Horticultural Services and Landscape Design Professor of Horticulture at County College of Morris. Marc will focus on putting your garden to bed in the Fall to improve its performance in the Spring. Gardeners will find out what perennials to cut back, what to fertilize, how to protect against snow and salt damage, and proper Spring clean-up tasks. Discussion of “old, new, and tried and true” practices will be shared.
