Dear Colleen,We picked up our bare-rooted trees (from Avalon Nursery) during the final week of last term, and planted them straight away. Our Environmental Monitors along with our teachers helped plant the trees. It was wonderful to receive such a generous donation for our school, and it will be great in the springtime to see the leaves fill the branches and watch them grow. The children were very excited to help plant the lovely trees. Thank you for your thoughtful program and thank you to Brian and Maree Harrison for your most generous donation of 20 mature trees.Yours sincerely, Annie Wynen, Environmental Monitor Co-ordinator/Teacher, Black Hill Primary School

Indeed, a huge thank you to the Harrisons for their continued support to our local schools. Through Fifteen Trees, Harrison Funerals arrange to have one mature tree planted for every funeral service. To date, that equates to 232 trees planted in Ballarat and surrounds.

Each year, Fifteen Trees plants native trees for every new home built by the Wodonga team. A tangible and lasting contribution to the local environment.
Chris and Sharri Longmore from G.J. Gardner Homes Shepparton are generous supporters of local community groups, and their tree planting projects. To date, Chris, Sharri and their team purchased almost 3,000 native trees for the Goulburn Valley district.
According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.
