The family are members of [...]

You can be a small business, even a tiny one, and still make a significant positive contribution to the environment. We already know that small businesses are vital for local economies, that they keep money in the community and support local interests in myriad different ways. They also provide opportunities for entrepreneurs, [...]

Our dear friend Sally Bodenham died earlier this year surrounded by her family after two and half years living [...]

Earlier this year we put out a call for people to support our neighbours in East Gippsland and purchase trees for landholders in areas that had been devastated by the February fires. Many people heard the call and as a result we were able to offer one farming family 100 trees (and guards) for a revegetation project that will help restore native bushland. Organic & biodynamic farmers were heavily impacted [...]

We love it when creative people harness their powers for the good of us all. Why not sing or laugh and save the planet at the same time? This is the approach two Ballarat groups took earlier this year when they combined entertainment with environmentalism. Both the Ballarat Bar Choir and BallaRatCat Comedy partnered with Fifteen Trees to make their event a little more meaningful. On February 1st, 2020, [...]
