Brian and Maree Harrison (Harrison Funerals) have once again donated trees to a local school in Ballarat. This time, 18 mature trees were planted at the Mt Clear Secondary College campus by Year 12 VCAL students. Through Fifteen Trees, Brian and Maree plant one mature tree for every funeral service they hold at their Main Rd, premises.

On behalf of Year 12 VCAL we would like to thank Fifteen Trees and Harrison Funerals for donating 18 fruit trees for our school grounds. We appreciate the donation you have supplied for not only our class but for the whole school environment.

This post rounds off a ‘year of mature tree planting’ on the behalf of Maree and Brian Harrison. This year, we planted 93 trees at 5 sites: Pinarc (25), Mt Pleasant PS (20), Yuille Park (5), Delacombe PS (25) and Mt Clear SC (18). Big thank you to this generous couple who are constantly giving back to the community in which they live and work.

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!
