EbbsHayden Real Estate have reduced their carbon footprint by organising through Fifteen Trees and Ullina Land-care Group, the planting of 30 trees. The trees have been planted on private properties in the Broomfield and Creswick region. With the huge amount of rain during the winter and spring, planting was delayed for months as the ground was just too damp.
Now that the sun is shining the trees will shoot up rapidly and over the coming years will provide a green haven for our native animals.
Thank you to Richard Hayden, owner of Hayden Real Estate (Sturt St, Ballarat) who didn’t hesitate to support this new green venture and give some assistance to landowners aiming to revegetate land that had been deforested many years ago. Let’s hope that more businesses take your lead!
Cheers – Colleen[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
Each year, Fifteen Trees plants native trees for every new home built by the Wodonga team. A tangible and lasting contribution to the local environment.
Chris and Sharri Longmore from G.J. Gardner Homes Shepparton are generous supporters of local community groups, and their tree planting projects. To date, Chris, Sharri and their team purchased almost 3,000 native trees for the Goulburn Valley district.
According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.
