Harrison Funerals – beautifying our city!

TREES PLANTED

  Harrison Funerals Hi_Res_RGB   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.   Recently, 25 mature trees were planted at Clarendon Recreation Reserve due to the generosity of this caring couple.

We placed some soil down the middle of carpark to separate into two sections for parking bays. We have wire around all trees to protect them from the sheep. We also placed some on the outside of the carpark in the paddock area so in years to come the whole carpark will be surrounded by beautiful ornamental trees. The front entrance has a walkway that will have a stunning entrance when the three beautiful manchurian pear on the front lawn mature. All trees are protected with tree guards and mulch and have agi pipe inserted for ease of watering. Thank you Maree and Brian for your generous contribution to the beautification of our city and surrounds. Donna Hart | Secretary & Treasurer | Clarendon Recreation Reserve

‘Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.

‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’. Ballarat Wildlife Park

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.
