A number of individuals have helped this tree planting project at the Winjallok Bushland Reserve (Vic). Organised by Lindsay Ezard and his team from the Northern Grampians Landcare Network, 110 trees were planted at this little known bush park on a sunny, but cold day in early spring.
Huge thank you to the following people who made this project possible. Richard Finlay (30 trees), Llewellyn Wishart (10 trees), Marlie Grant (10 trees as a birthday planting for her friend Kellie) and 15 trees from Liz Breen (as a gift to her father Len Breen), Lisa Kendal (Sustainable Development Australia), the Brigidine Community in Wangaratta and Sr Margaret from Bonbeach.

It was between the two properties owned by the Fernandes and Cheesman families. Help with the planting was supplied by Bendigo TAFE Sustainable Agriculture students. Many thanks for your assistance with this project.

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.
WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant 15 trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
