Compassionate Ballarat joined forces with the global Compassion Tree Project, the Green World Campaign and the Upper Emu Creek Landcare Group. While our initial target was to plant 100 trees at the Mullawallah Wetlands in fact well over the 100 trees were planted as part of this initiative. The aim of the global Compassion Tree Project is to link us together in a single global effort, connecting us all in our common humanity to take action about climate change. At the commencement of the wetlands planting a poem was read from the global tree project website.
