Crewick North Primary School.

TREES PLANTED

Towards the end of last year the little primary school at Creswick North were the happy recipients of 10 mature trees donated by Maree and Brian Harrison of Harrison Funerals Ballarat. The trees were planted by the students themselves but under the supervision of their teachers Local families volunteered to water and maintain the trees over the long summer holidays. Principal Darren Mooney, was delighted to be able to improve the biodiversity of his school grounds as well as provide shade for his students in years to come.

Since September 2010, Maree and Brian Harrison have supported local community groups by supplying trees. Through their generosity over 60 trees have been planted at places such as Ballarat Art Studio, Garibaldi Community Hall, Durham Lead and EarthEd in Mt Clear.

We are gearing up for a busy autumn with lots of groups out there planting.

A Subscription for the Planet. Winter Update.

June 10, 2026

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.

Hotels for Trees. VIC

May 17, 2026

For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.

Collective Action. Individuals for the Planet.

April 29, 2026

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.
