Jenny Biddy and John Kell from Kell Funerals (St Arnaud & Donald, Victoria) have once again supported local communities and their tree planting projects by sponsoring the planting of 60 trees at Donald, Victoria.
Year 9 students from Donald High School volunteered on behalf of Fifteen Trees to plant over 500 native Australian tree and plant species on the property of a local Landcare member. Students had a great time getting dirty, lending a hand in protecting their environment and supporting the Donald community.
Donald High School wish to thank Liz Russel from Donald Landcare, Colleen Filippa from Fifteen Trees and Jenny Bibby and John Kell, the generous donors from Kell Funerals who contributed by purchasing 60 of these trees. The students were diligent and focused on getting the job done right. Thanks also to Liz who kept up sustained monitoring and watering. The plants have been growing nicely at this stage.

Thank you Jenny and John for your continued support of our native environment. It is a beautiful gesture, to plant trees for those in the St Arnaud and Donald community who have passed away.
