Dear Colleen, What a fabulous opportunity Sebastopol Primary School had in receiving 17 trees to plant around our school. Term 3 saw the beginning of a small-scale kitchen garden program. This meant for the senior students and myself a chance to research, plan and develop our very own garden from scratch. Part of the plan for our garden was a small orchard of apple, pear, lemon and cherry trees and a shaded playing area on the top oval. Thanks to the Fifteen Trees program and Harrisons Funerals, we were able to achieve these two goals. The students have gained a huge sense of pride for ‘their’ schools trees and understand the value of planting for the future. Nadine Ogilvie | Classroom teacher | Sebastopol PS  
  Thank you Maree and Brian for your continued support of our local schools and their tree planting projects. Slàinte – Colleen[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.

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.
