Queensland Innisfail State College (a combined secondary school and TAFE) have been working hard over a number of years to improve the area around their school and in particular the banks of the Johnstone River that runs behind the campus. Earlier plantings have helped stabilize the riverbank, and students are now encouraged to extend their project with more tree planting. The area is now (almost) free of weeds and the students have provided a wonderful habitat for local wildlife, especially native birds.

The school planted 280 trees of which Angela Petruzzi from
Livos Australia contributed 30. Livos manufactures environmentally sustainable paints and finishes made from plant-based materials. They even produce children’s face and finger paints. Thank you Angela and the team at Livos.
