Mature trees at Mt Clear PS (Vic).

TREES PLANTED

Maree and Brian Harrison from Harrison Funerals (Ballarat) support our local community in many ways, one of which is to  provide mature trees to schools and public areas in the district. Over the course of our 4 year partnership, the Harrisons have provided over 150 mature trees to places such as Learmonth Community Gardens, Villa Maria PS, Mt Clear College, Ross Creek PS, the Garibaldi Reserve and now Mt Clear Primary School. That is a huge number of trees – thank you Maree and Brian. DSCF0649 On National Tree Day for Schools (Friday July 25th), students at Mt Clear PS planted out 10 mature trees. They were assisted by parents and grandparents. The day was organised by the fabulous Cynthia Davidson and her Environmental Team (made up of students from across the school). DSCF0634 More of Harrison’s trees to come – over the next few weeks we are planting at Villa Maria, Ballarat Specialist School and Mt Clear College. If your school would like mature trees, please contact me at <[email protected]> Slainte – Colleen

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!
