National Tree Day and Yogaville.

TREES PLANTED

Bronwyn Rust is the owner and founder of Yogaville, a beautiful Iyengar yoga studio located in Preston Vic. This year I once again planted 90 trees on her behalf to reduce the carbon footprint of the yoga studio. Bronwyn’s trees went to the beautiful district of Baw Baw, just north of Melbourne, Victoria. yogavillelotuslogocrop Karla Rutherford, environmental office with the Shire, along with a host of volunteers, planted Bronwyn’s trees (90) at Brooker Park. Scroll to the bottom to find the link to a great video from the day.
Hello Colleen, Please find attached a photo of Baw Baw Shire’s National Tree Day event at Brooker Park, Warragul on Sunday 30th July. Funds from Fifteen Trees were used to continue restoration works along Hazel Creek. In total 1030 plants were installed by community volunteers, 300 of which were supplied by supporters of Fifteen Trees. A combination of trees, shrubs and grasses were installed to replicate the vegetation type that previously occurred at the site. A total of 53 volunteers participated on the day, making a significant contribution to improving the local environment.Massive thank you to Yogaville and your support of Fifteen Trees, and in turn … us!Karla Rutherford | Environmental Officer | Baw Baw Shire

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.

‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’.
