A tree for the dearly loved departed.

TREES PLANTED

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.

 

Kell Funerals plant trees on the behalf of those who are entrusted into their care.

 

 

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.

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.
