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

David Cook-Doulton and Martin Shew always thought regional towns of Ballarat and Bendigo had a world-class feel. They could see it in the wide streets, the grand buildings and beautiful botanical gardens. And so two world-class hotels were created – Hotel Vera (Ballarat) and Hotel Ernest (Bendigo). Both hotels link luxury with environmental awareness as part of ‘true luxury, founded upon environmental integrity’.
