Daylesford College Live4Life members embrace Blue Tree project

News story from Hepburn Shire Council published 16 March 2026

The 2026 Daylesford College Live4Life members have officially joined the Blue Tree project, a movement that encourages communities to paint trees blue as striking visual reminders to speak up and help reduce mental health stigma.

Mayor, Cr Tony Clark, said the blue tree now standing at Daylesford College serves as a symbol of hope and connection, prompting conversations about mental health and reminding young people and our community that they are not alone.

“Council and Central Highlands Rural Health have collaborated on Live4Life delivery since 2024, supporting members as they engage with peers, promoting help-seeking behaviours, and contributing to healthier, more connected youth communities across the region,” said Cr Clark.
