On National Tree Day in July, 60 Ballarat people collected themselves and went off to celebrate the night at their local Green Drinks, which was held at The Rebellion Brewery in Mair St.

Green Drinks is an international informal ‘get together’ for anyone who is keen to mix it with the best, have a lovely ale or wine and listen to a guest speaker from the environmental field.
In Ballarat, it is a monthly event held usually during the first week of the month.
In celebration of National Tree Day, Fifteen Trees decided to plant one tree for each person who ‘walked in the door’. As a result, 60 native trees went out to the Ballarat Specialist FARM School in Normal St Ballarat to be planted on the school grounds.

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!
There are individuals and organisations at all levels, in all parts of the country, taking steps to protect our environmental inheritance. We can all join in. By taking many small steps, and working together, we truly can grow change.
Together with your generous support, we have planted 633 native trees to provide shelter, food, and protection for the Tawny Frogmouths, helping in their survival for generations to come.
