Chris Cobern and the hard working folks at Upper Goulburn have just planted 300 of our trees with the help of employees from NAB Melbourne. The trees went to a farm in the Kinglake District of North/Central Victoria.

The Upper Goulburn Landcare Network recently held a planting day on a farm near Kinglake.
With the help of corporate volunteers from NAB and members of the Kinglake Landcare Group, we planted 300 trees kindly provided by Fifteen Trees and their supporters.
The plants will help revegetate this fire ravaged property. As well as providing wind protection for stock and habitat for native wildlife they will also help protect against erosion on the steep hill side. The farm managers Duncan and Cindy very much appreciated the volunteer assistance and provided home made soup and a bbq lunch for everyone.

At the heart of every nunnery is, of course, charity. We love our partnership with the Brigidine Sisters and are impressed with their passion to give. That’s a long history of giving from these remarkable women, and we are not only benefactors of this kindness, as their other philanthropy does ripple out to myriad of other organisations as well.
