Geoff Lea from Walking Track Services Tasmania, not only has many years experience walking Australian tracks in National Parks, he has also had a hand in constructing many kilometers of the tracks themselves. This year, Geoff asked me to plant 60 trees on his behalf. The trees went to Matt Pitt (acting CEO of Landcare Tasmania) and his team at Conservation Volunteers.

Matt explains the project …
‘This project was about re-vegetating areas along the Tyenna River. This riparian rehabilitation of previously grazed lands adjoining the National Park aims to increase biodiversity. Conservation Volunteers had various people engaged throughout this project including; local job seekers, retirees and university students as well as international volunteers. Everyone involved was thrilled to be helping revegetate and protect such a spectacular and diverse National Park’.
Thank you Geoff for your ongoing support of tree planting in Tasmania. I’m sure you know the Tyenna River district well and have walked many of its tracks. Please keep an eye out for your trees.

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.
