Kinglake Sign Tree Project
The Tree Project is a call to blacksmiths around the world to forge stainless steel and copper gumleaves to send to Victoria.
The leaves will be used by Australian blacksmiths to create a steel gumtree. This tree will be a memorial to the people who lost their lives in the February 7 bushfires, to honour the tireless people who defended others and to stand as a symbol of regeneration for the community.
For more information, please download the flyer (PDF 159k) or go to www.treeproject.abavic.org.au.
