This year at my stall,  I offered a ‘one tree’ option for those who liked the idea of helping out with planting trees on a small scale. As a result, 26 people decided to part with $5.00 and have […]

The trees were planted by the students themselves but under the supervision of their teachers   Local families volunteered to water and maintain the […]

A special thanks to the generosity of the individuals who also helped by donating money. Well done to all involved, especially my wife, kids […]

We managed to plant just the trees within two hours, which was a HUGE achievement. Most of the school were able to come together in the paddock next to our school to assist with […]
