TREES PLANTED
On the school grounds of Phoenix College Sebastopol on National Tree Day, Fifteen Trees along with a hand full of students from the Year 10 Environmental Science class planted 4 mature trees. These trees were planted due to the generous support of Brian and Maree Harrison from Harrison Funerals Ballarat.

Brian and Maree have now helped over 80 mature trees find homes across Ballarat – in locations such as Learmonth Community Gardens, EarthED, Garibaldi Community Reserve and Creswick Primary School. These mature trees are exotics and they will provide shade and beauty for generations of students to come.

‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’.

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.
