Trees at Sebastopol Primary thanks to Harrison Funerals.
TREES PLANTED
Brian and Maree Harrison (Harrison Funerals) have once again donated trees to a Ballarat local school. This time around, 17 mature trees were planted at Sebastopol Primary School due to the generosity of this caring couple.
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’. Harrison Funerals plant one mature tree on the behalf of every family who use their service.

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 PSThank you Maree and Brian for your continued support of our local schools and their tree planting projects.

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!
