Harrison Funerals at Linton Cemetery.

TREES PLANTED

Harrison Funerals ‘strive to ensure that every family’s funeral experience is a positive one and through (their) care and service (they) are able to ease some of the grief and assist the healing process’. With the assistance of Fifteen Trees, Harrison Funerals plant one mature tree on the behalf of every family who use their service.

  Harrison Funerals Hi_Res_RGB   Recently, 15 mature trees were planted at Linton Cemetery due to the generosity of this caring couple. At Linton Cemetery, the committee are continually trying to beautify the cemetery landscape with new trees and to ensure trees are replenished as needed.

On Saturday the 5th of October we held our tree planting working bee where nine diligent community members helped to dig the holes, plant, guard and water our fantastic 15 trees. Everyone on the Trust committee is over the moon regarding your program. And a special thank you to Brian and Maree Harrison who has been giving out trees to community groups like ours for the past 9 years. It is people like the Harrisons that make our work that much more enjoyable.   Chris Grigg | Trust Member | Linton Cemetery

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. (Feature image from Mt Worth Landcare).

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!
