I planted a forest two years ago - Beau Miles

FOREST UPDATE 2023: In August of 2021 I loaded up my old ute and old trailer with 1440 trees, bundles of long sticks, a hand of bananas, pogo-stick-planter, dirty swag, slippery tin of sunscreen and a pair of bespoke gumboots lined with running innersoles. My aim was to plant a tree a minute for 24 hours. I did it, just, plodding away with the final trays of trees as if I was wounded. In the film ‘A tree a minute’ my final text said ‘I’ll make a follow up film in two years’. So here I am, as promised, revisiting the small 2.5 acre plot on my good friends block to see how this old creek, once cleared, is getting on as a newly fledged patch of forest.
