Sixty trees thanks to Kell Funerals

TREES PLANTED

Jenny Biddy and John Kell from Kell Funerals (St Arnaud & Donald, Victoria) have once again supported our tree planting efforts here at Fifteen Trees by sponsoring the planting of 60 trees (along with 60 tree guards).

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

The trees were planted by Donald High School students at the Donald field & Game last week. Liz Russell from Banyandah Indigenous Nursery organised the trees for the group as well as the planting site. Liz says ‘we will be keeping an eye on these trees over the coming months and will be back next week to water again.’

Thank you Jenny and John for your continued support of our native environment. It is a beautiful gesture, planting trees for those who have passed away.

A Subscription for the Planet. Spring Update.

October 18, 2026

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.
