Ngexesha leveki yokugqibela kaMeyi, uMlawuli oPhetheyo oBambeleyo u-Amelia Oliver uye waya kwiNdawo yaseSan Francisco Bay ukuze aqalise ukucwangcisa isiganeko esivuyisayo kunye nokudibana namalungu akhoyo eReLeaf Network. Apha, wabelana ngezinye iinkcukacha zohambo lwakhe.
[sws_blue_box ]Qala umise - Ipaki yePioneer, iMountain View.
Ndiyakonwabela ukhenketho oluthandekayo olukhokelwayo kweli jewel ephakathi kwedolophu evela kumalungu ebhodi yeMountain View Trees. Nangona ndikhulele kule paki, andizange ndiyibone le paki. Izaliswe yingqokelela yeentlobo ngeentlobo zeentlobo ezijikeleze ii-oki ezininzi zentlambo. Ndiceba ukubuya ekwindla xa le mithi yecherry idubule. [/sws_blue_box]
[sws_blue_box ]Indawo elandelayo yokumisa - Ihlathi lethu lesiXeko, iSan Jose (isilumkiso somonakalisi).
UMlawuli oLawulayo weHlathi leSixeko, uRhonda Berry, kwaye ndachitha ngoLwesibini emva kwemini sicwangcisa ukuwa kweCalifornia ReLeaf 25th Anniversary Reunion. Ukuqala kwam ukusebenza kumahlathi asezidolophini ngowe-1995, ndandidla ngokuziva ndisisimumu yaye ndikhwankqiswa yimisebenzi kaRhonda nezinto eziphunyezwe liHlathi LeSixeko Sethu. Kuyandivuyisa ukusebenza naye ekucwangciseni lo mbhiyozo mkhulu kangaka (ngowe-11 kuOkthobha) kwaye ndiyabubulela ububele bakhe bokusingatha abahlobo bethu beReLeaf. Eyona nto yayibalasele emva kwemini yayikukubukela uRhonda edanisa nesikhwenene sakhe. [/sws_blue_box]
[sws_blue_box ]uLwesithathu - Canopy, Palo Alto.
Ndiqaqambile kwaye kwangethuba ndisiya kwikomkhulu leCanopy ePalo Alto. Ndiyakwazi ukudibana noCanopy ED Catherine Martineau malunga neshishini leReLeaf – njengoko uCatherine enguNondyebo webhodi yeReLeaf. Xa uCatherine kufuneka etyibilike esiya kwenye intlanganiso, ndiyakwazi ukufunda malunga neCanopy kuMlawuli weNkqubo uNatalia, onogqozi olwasulelayo lwe-arboriculture (uhlobo lwam lwegal). Kuyanika umdla ukufunda ukuba amava kaNatalia okulima aqala xa wayesebenza kwiAmericorps kwiHlathi yesiXeko Sethu. Nceda unqwenelele impumelelo uNatalia njengoko efundela uviwo lwesiqinisekiso somthi kweli hlobo. [/sws_blue_box]
[sws_blue_box ]Isidlo sasemini ePleasanton.
Ndingathini ukuba ndingazange ndindwendwele le dolophu inomtsalane?! Kuthathe isimemo sesidlo sasemini esimnandi komnye wabantu endibathandayo (kunye nomongameli webhodi yeReLeaf ozayo) uJim Clark ukuba andibonise inyani. Kodwa into awayengayazi uJim yeyokuba ngenene ndiye ndavela kutyelelo lweofisi yeHortScience kunye nethuba lokutyelela uNelda Matheny – ekhangeleka edlamkile kwiofisi yakhe eluhlaza. Ndiyathemba ukuba amanye amandla obuchopho babasebenzi beHortScience akhutshiwe kum. [/sws_blue_box]

Ndiwuthandile ulangazelelo lwabo olungaboniyo kunye nombono wabo njengoko lonke iqela lamavolontiya lisebenza ngeprojekthi yalo yokuqala yesibonelelo sokutyala imithi. Wow - enjani yona indawo emangalisayo! Ndikhokelwe kumacandelo ale Park yeSixeko enehektare ezili-17 ngumongameli webhodi u-Arti Kirch. Besinxibelelana ngefowuni nange-imeyile kwezi nyanga zimbalwa zidlulileyo kwaye kuhle ukuba ekugqibeleni sidibane. Ndiceba ukubuyisela usapho lwam kule Arboretum kwaye ndiya kumnqanda umyeni wam wehlathi ngayo yonke imizekelo eyahlukileyo ekhula ngolonwabo kule ndawo ingcwele yeConcord. [/sws_blue_box]
