Barakee board was proud to be a part of the mining and quarry industry coming together to paint a tree blue to encourage people to speak out when doing it tough. Located at MAX Plant’s manufacturing facility on the corner of busy Cockburn Road and Sparks Road in Henderson, this tree acts as a beacon of hope and a conversation starter. 

The Blue Tree Project has created a mental health revolution throughout Australia. Kendall Whyte, founder and CEO of Blue Tree Project, has used her pain as motivation to help spark difficult conversations and break down the stigma of mental health through giving dead trees ‘a blue lease on life’.
