Design duo Keir Mac Donald and Asha Cato are based in the Dandenong Ranges, Victoria. From their studio they make the most beautiful ceramic jewellery, pots and home-wares. Asha and Keir kick in for 75 trees every quarter and have been doing so since 2012. Check out their website at Angus & Celeste.
This quarter, Angus & Celeste trees were planted at the Morning Peninsula and at Manor Lakes P-12 College.
Thank you for our precious trees (60). Our whole family has enjoyed the process of planting each tree and each of our children took it in turns to help (for the first 10 and then we had to finish off – of course!) Each week we take a walk along each tree and discuss their progress. This is something of a ritual now that we all enjoy. We check how they are going and see if any have been nibbled on by rabbits. There is a diverse range of wildlife around our property that will inhabit these trees in the future and we are enjoying them grow along side our children.

WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant a selection of native trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hotels for Trees.
Individual actions really do matter! Individually we can really only make small differences to the world around us, but collectively our numbers add up. And if enough individuals are involved then forests can be grown!
