Hi Colleen, This photo is a quick capture of one of the beautiful Cherry Trees that we planted during School’s Tree Day, as sponsored by Harrison Funerals. The students have taken great care, feeding the trees a good dose of horse manure, compost and mulching with pea straw. They’ve even used a little of our ‘worm juice’ on them. The other fruiting varieties that we planted in the arbor are also beginning to spring into spring. Thank you once again Colleen for helping us on our sustainability journey and for helping us to build such great relationships with local businesses. Sarah Page. Environmental Teacher. St Francis Xavier. Ballarat Marie and Brian Harrison from Harrison Funerals have been long time supporters of our environment and to date have helped plant over 100 mature trees throughout our region. Trees have gone to many school groups and community gardens where they now provide shade and beauty to playgrounds, gardens and reserves. Thank you Marie and Brian for your ongoing interest and commitment. Slainte – Colleen         [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

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!
