PLANTING A TREE IN HONOUR OF YOU
I’m passionate about mother nature, hell I’m almost a tree hugger. My family and I spend so much time in the great outdoors and planting trees for each couple I marry and for each retreat attendee gives me great joy.
I truly believe that positive changes are tiny ripples which lead to big change, creating a very powerful effect. For each wedding booked / retreat guest – I donate for trees to be planted in your honour via Greenfleet – plus make a donation to help restore habitats for Koalas.
You’ill revegetate protected Australian native forests, removing carbon from the atmosphere and creating habitat for koalas and other endangered wildlife. A gift that will last generations, making a difference that’s truly meaningful.
