Hindmarsh Plumbing Services has been in operation since 1973 and provide employment to over 200 South Australians. They are big players in giving back to their community and they currently support groups such as Cara Respite, Puddle Jumpers and Arthritis SA.
Now they have joined Fifteen Trees and are supporting local community landcare projects in SA. Purchasing 300 trees for Karen Bishop and the Riverland West Landcare group, these trees will reduce the carbon footprint of 20 vehicles in their fleet.
Riverland West Landcare in conjunction with the Australian Vintage Vineyard in Waikerie (SA) recently planted 300 native trees thanks to the generous people from Hindmarsh Plumbing Services.
Employees of Australian Vintage helped lay irrigation pipes to ensure the trees recieve water over the coming summer months.
Thank you to Hindmarsh for your support of this Landcare project in Waikerie. A total of 5 hectares of revegetation is being undertaken by the winery and these trees are a wonderful kick starter! We look forward to seeing the trees progress when we go back next year to do more plantings.

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.
