Maree and Brian Harrison from Harrison Funerals plant one mature tree for every funeral service held at their Ballarat premises. The trees are sourced from Avalon Nursery (Haddon) and Fifteen Trees then distributes the trees to community groups.
To date, Harrison Funerals have helped plant over 250 mature trees in school grounds across Ballarat.

“Hi Maree and Brian. What a fantastic day we had! Nothing better than seeing parents, students and teachers all getting involved in the ‘school yard blitz’ session – giving the school grounds a much needed make-over. Thank you so much for making this project possible. This is Step One of our ‘greening our learning environment’ project.I was elected to the school council this year, and am heading up the Grounds and Buildings Sub-committee. Our tree planting activity helped to bring new families into this sub-committee and started further discussions of more grand plans for the school :)Thanks again, we will be sure to acknowledge your support again in the next school newsletter”.

Thank you Brian and Maree for your continued support. This spring, your trees are flowering all over Ballarat and surrounds.

‘We are very pleased to have sponsors contributing this work that we have undertaken for many years. The results are now speaking for themselves, and more people than ever are interested and aware of the importance of protecting and restoring our environment’. Jenny Ryle | NELG Inc.
‘We recognise that our company has an environmental footprint, especially considering the land cleared for new homes and the materials used in their construction. That’s why we’re committed to giving back to the environment and minimising our impact wherever we can’. Kiba Built.
We have a handful of organisations and small companies, who purchase trees when they can. These people are masters of ingenuity when it comes to incorporating tree planting into their business practices.
