A number of individuals have helped this tree planting project at the Winjallok Bushland Reserve (Vic). Organised by Lindsay Ezard and his team from the Northern Grampians Landcare Network, 110 trees were planted at this little known bush park on a sunny, but cold day in early spring.
Huge thank you to the following people who made this project possible. Richard Finlay (30 trees), Llewellyn Wishart (10 trees), Marlie Grant (10 trees as a birthday planting for her friend Kellie) and 15 trees from Liz Breen (as a gift to her father Len Breen), Lisa Kendal (Sustainable Development Australia), the Brigidine Community in Wangaratta and Sr Margaret from Bonbeach.

It was between the two properties owned by the Fernandes and Cheesman families. Help with the planting was supplied by Bendigo TAFE Sustainable Agriculture students. Many thanks for your assistance with this project.

Thank you Lindsay and your team for finding a lovely home for our trees (110) and coordinating the day with Bendigo TAFE.

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.
