A LITTLE UPDATE

“The Louder team recently spent a few days in the beautiful Blue Mountains together. We walked, talked and enjoyed the quiet away from the big smoke. It was a lovely way to connect.
This year for our annual giving campaign, Louder will sponsor the plantation and management of 1000 trees to help restore lands, and enable carbon sequestration in the trees and soils of the Daintree Forest.
It’s been a year of huge focus on our climate, the ecology and environment in Australia so we are hoping to make a bigger impact with a substantial donation.
Thanks for being part of our subscriber community this year. We hope your end of year festivities allows you to stop and celebrate the year that has been.
Wishing you a great holiday season and see you next year!”
