Flexicar, the premier car sharing company in Melbourne are ‘on a roll’ in the tree planting scene and have helped plant out another forest of trees (600). On Friday 26th July, 50 students and teachers from the local primary school, planted 400 trees in only a few short hours. The other 200 trees were planted the very next day.

However, there is new growth and the place is lush and green and the community spirit strong. TOO RIGHT! (my words).
The aim is to re-vegetate the area to increase biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife including the Greater Glider and Long-nosed Bandicoot that live in the adjacent Number Two Creek Reserve. We would like to thank Fifteen Trees and their supporters for providing the trees for this important project.
Chris Coburn, Upper Goulburn Landcare Network.
A huge thank you to Simon Bracken, the Marketing Manager at Flexicar who has taken this project on. As a bike commuter and green enthusiast, Simon did not need any convincing to support our native forests through Fifteen Trees.
Slainte – Colleen

WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant 15 trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
Tasman Cottage already gives you a chance to reconnect with nature, yet its manager Nick has taken an important next step. He recently purchased 150 trees in collaboration with us here at Fifteen Trees, an action which ensures vital habitat for our native fauna, such as the unique Tassie Devil.
‘We believe that supporting community tree-planting initiatives is not only an investment in nature; it’s a commitment to a sustainable future. JEI Studio is committed to ongoing donations of 15 planted trees for every design and decoration service agreement’. Jessi Deakin.
