Vicki Saab - BSRC Supporting Rotary International's Focus on the Environment
Rotary International (RI) has been addressing environmental issues in relation to humanitarian health for decades, providing the basis for this area of focus on the environment. Inspired by RIās global efforts on protecting the environment, Bozeman Sunrise Rotary Club established an environmental sub-committee in early 2026. In past years, our club has been engaged in several projects that improve the environment, including riparian planting and environmental education signage at Glen Lake Rotary Park, fix-up festival to increase home energy efficiency, developing sustainable water systems in Kenya, and improving infrastructure for healthy school environments in Nepal. In addition to these existing projects, our sub-committee provides recommendations on eco-friendly habits with weekly environmental tips in our news bulletin, and we developed guidelines for our club to conduct green events by recycling, composting, and reducing plastic. Our committee is also collaborating with the city, the university, and non-profit organizations to monitor water quality in the Gallatin Watershed. The water quality monitoring is part of our participation in āCommunity Action for Fresh Water,ā an initiative developed by RI in collaboration with the United Nations. Lastly, the committee initiated efforts to participate in RIās Operation Pollination, by proposing an expansion of the current pollinator garden at Glen Lake Rotary Park. We will continue to explore ways for participating in RIās focus on protecting the environment.

Lower Madison River Cleanup!
August 15th from 9am -1pm
We have a new volunteer opportunity!
August 15th from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm for the Lower Madison River Clean-Up being sponsored by Trout Unlimited.
As a reminder, Trout Unlimited sponsors our Kid's Fishing Day every year. We coordinated with Jim Schonewise and told him that we would try to get as many people as I could to come out. If you can make it for even some of the time that will be great. Lunch, drinks, and prizes will be provided afterwards at 1:00 pm.
Please use the registration under the calendar event in ClubRunner to indicate that you will be in attendance and we can register you with Trout Unlimited!
