On Tuesday 29th July at Tatyoon Recreational Reserve (Ararat) a community planting day took place in which 390 native trees were planted. These trees were replacing the old pine trees that were well past their ‘use by dates’. Kids from Maroona Primary School attended along with Sally and Ashley Heard from G.J Gardner Homes Ararat. Sally and Ashley very kindly donated the funds to enable the Upper Hopkins Landcare Group (UHLG) to source the trees (from local nursery Manna Gums).
Una Allender from the UHLG writes .. ‘conditions were perfect on the day, rain fell a few days later, so the young trees had a great start to life‘.

At the heart of every nunnery is, of course, charity. We love our partnership with the Brigidine Sisters and are impressed with their passion to give. That’s a long history of giving from these remarkable women, and we are not only benefactors of this kindness, as their other philanthropy does ripple out to myriad of other organisations as well.
WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant 15 trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
