CE Anthony Schemrbi receives a seedling from Ryde Hospital acting General Manager Jennifer McConnell
Adopt-a-Seedling initiative underway at Ryde Hospital As part of the $526.8 million Ryde Hospital redevelopment, staff at the hospital have been given the opportunity to take part in a unique Adopt-a-Seedling initiative. The project supports native replanting and restoration efforts in the Blue Gum High Forest adjacent to Ryde Hospital, with help from partners A W Edwards and Total Earth Care. Over the next six months, the seedlings which are native species, will be nurtured by staff members at home before returning to the forest for a community planting day. Ryde Hospital acting General Manager Jennifer McConnell presented NSLHD Chief Executive Anthony Schembri with his seedling, where he joined nearly 200 hospital staff and community members taking part in the initiative. “It’s a small act with a big impact—and a beautiful symbol of what can grow when people come together,” Anthony said.
