St Brigid’s Paddock
TREES PLANTED
The Sisters Of St Brigid have had a busy time planting 1000’s of trees on a parcel of donated land at Shoreham Vic. Brigid’s Paddock (as it is now called) is slowly being re-vegetated from pasture to forest through the generous support of Aaron Bones (33 trees), Jennifer Forest (15 trees), Julie Phillips (15 trees) and Helen Rowan (2 trees as gifts).
Aaron is manager/owner of new restaurant in Grill’d Ballarat. Aaron has generously donated $100 to Fifteen Trees. Every month Grill’d encourage their customers to support local organisations by adding tokens to the ‘community jars’. The initiative is called – Local Matters. Every month, 3 new organisations are highlighted and in October, Fifteen Trees was fortunate enough to become involved.
Thank you to Aaron, Helen, Jennifer (I want her surname) and dear friend Julie. Your donations have allowed another 65 trees to be planted by Sr Anne Boyd and her supporters at the St Brigidine Order.

‘Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.

‘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.
