Tree Planting at Brigid’s Paddock.

TREES PLANTED

Sr Anne from the St Brigidine Order has taken me a little under her wing and has galvanised many of the Sisters around Australia to carbon offset their vehicles with Fifteen Trees. As a result, this year I have planted 300 trees on their behalf and the lovely thing is … the trees have all been planted on land donated to the Order.

Down at Shoreham at Brigid’s Paddock, 300 trees were planted earlier this year by a host of nuns and volunteers.

A well earned cuppa.
Last year, the Sisters planted out 200 trees and as you can see (below) they are coming along beautifully.

Most of us fly into Tasmania. And millions of us do it for the sole purpose of basking in its unique natural wonders and breathing in some of the clearest air in the world. It’s satisfying to think that one of its primary gatekeepers, Hobart Airport, is doing its bit to make Tasmania just that bit greener.
