TREES PLANTED

 “Dearest Filippa, Thank you so much for the opportunity to receive two trees via your generous project. The trees are to be the very first plants that will establish a new garden surrounding an old church in Ballarat. The small church grounds have been neglected for many years, and so these trees are particularly valued.All my own resources are being channelled into renovating the interior of the church and setting up the new Art Therapy business, so I would not have normally have indulged in buying trees at this stage.  These  trees will be celebrated in our weekly meditation group this week”.  L.FOnce again thank you to Brian and Maree Harrison from Harrison Funerals who have kindly paid for these mature trees to be planted on the grounds at the old church in South St, Ballarat. Their concept of carbon offsetting cremations is a fabulous one. Green burials and funerals are at present a new concept but one in which will become more popular as people become more aware of our impact on the world and begin to take action – from cradle to grave.Through the support of Harrison Funerals, ‘Fifteen Trees’ can now offer mature trees to land-care groups, community groups and individuals who want to simply plant trees – and we all know we need to plant trees, lots of trees.Cheers – Colleen

There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.

‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’.
