At Miners Rest Primary School students planted a number of fruit trees and various other plants around the school grounds. The fruit trees will support our kitchen garden program. Our thanks go to the following organisations for making this possible. Colleen Filippa, (Fifteen Trees) who emailed an offer of free trees for the school. These plants were sponsored by Brian and Maree Harrison (Harrison Funerals), both of whom were able to attend the planting. The trees were available from Gary and Lynnette at the Avalon Nursery in Haddon. The Ballarat Courier also attended the planting.Thanks again to everyone who made this possible.Kylie Riddoch | Classroom Teacher | Miners Rest PS
Harrison Funerals and Fifteen Trees have been in partnership since 2010. Thanks to the generosity of Maree and Brian Harrison, Ballarat community groups have been able to plant over 300 mature trees across the Ballarat district.Slàinte – Colleen[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
‘Converge have partnered with Fifteen Trees as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability. By planting a tree for every new employee, Converge is helping to restore native habitats, improve biodiversity, capture carbon emissions, and support healthy ecosystems’. Stuart French | Converge International
There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.
‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’. Nel Smit | Nipaluna Community Nursery
