Sandy Hills Farm

TREES PLANTED

“The trees have been planted along the southern boundary of the property. They connect with existing native forest to provide shelter for wildlife.” JE. Trees planted at Sandy Hills farm this month were paid for by Pip from Partycles Balloon and Party Supplies (3 x 15 trees) and Brett from Davis Planning Solutions (1 x15 trees). Through their generous support of this project, the landowners at Sandy Hills have been able to plant 60 trees on their 10 acre property at Garibaldi (just south of Ballarat). All trees have been protected with tree guards and in the future will bring shelter, food and protection to the native animals that live on/near the property, as well as collect over 4 tonnes of carbon during their lifetime. If you look closely,  you will see kangaroos bounding past the new seedlings. Thank you to Pip and Brett for understanding the need for us all to step up to the challenge of climate change and support the planting of trees in rural Victoria.      [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

We cannot do without trees nor bees. Ana and Sven from Amber Drop Honey, recognise that we are all interconnected, and that there is no future in taking without giving back.

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.
