Hi Colleen, I have attached some photos from our tree planting day on Friday. It was a very successful day and hopefully the trees planted will grow well and provide a home for all the local birds and shade for the children at our Campus. Thank you and thanks also to Harrison Funerals who enabled these trees to be planted.

Maree and Brian Harrison from Harrison Funerals have been long time supporters of our community. To date they have helped plant almost 100 mature trees (one tree for every cremation service). These trees are planted in primary schools and community gardens and reserves in the Ballarat district. The mature trees are a mixture of exotic species such as Silver Birch, Elm, London Plane and Peppercorn. These trees make beautiful shade trees for those needing a respite from the sun.
Special thanks to Maree and Brian. We will need to do something special for your up-coming 100th tree.

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.
For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.
There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.
