Earlier this year we ran a campaign on Instagram asking people to tag us in their favourite tree photos. We called it ‘Trees of Where I Am’. We wanted to know about the beloved trees. The trees that brighten a daily walk, that shelter the grandchildren, that survive against all odds, that give the horizon […]

Some of our tree planting partners are quietly racking up whole forests. G.J. Gardner Homes is one of our strongest supporters, having planted 56,000 trees with us over the past 8 years.

Friends of Fifteen Trees (2019) Report.
The average Australian lifestyle uses 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is. A tree collects and stores 268kg over its lifetime. This means, every year we need to plant 58 trees to bring our individual carbon consumption down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do […]
