Report to SCI for Natural Disaster Fund

They are collecting surplus plants from nurseries and delivering them to affected communities from Blue Mountains to Sydney’s west and Southern Highlands to as far south as Cobargo, approximately 400km south of Sydney.

IVP Australia is part of the global network that is SCI where our main objective is to create paths for peace through workcamps trainings and projects such as the Plants for Peace initiative.
