Well protected seedlings at Snodgrass.

Metcalfe is situated in the beautiful granitic rolling hills of Central Victoria. The Snodgrass Creek flows through our town and into Coliban River. Our Landcare groups has been going for 4 years now, with members focusing on works on their own land’. Debbie Farmer, Secretary, Metcalfe Landcare.

Thank yous must go out to a number companies who have enabled these 120 trees to be planted at Snodgrass. Brett Davis from Davis Planning Solutions (my first non-family customer back in 2009) has once again jumped on board to support tree planting (15 trees), along with Vernon and Sonia Wilson (15 trees) from Jim’s Solar (Victoria), Angus and Celeste (75 trees) from the fabulous on-line website (home, garden and wear) and Suzannah Morrison (15 trees) from Swept-Away – the Eco-friendly cleaning company.

These companies have picked up the challenge to take action on climate change.

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. (Feature image from Mt Worth Landcare).

Individual actions really do matter! Individually we can really only make small differences to the world around us, but collectively our numbers add up. And if enough individuals are involved then forests can be grown!
