Weekly blog (Tuesdays).
We are delighted to announce that Canopy Fitouts have purchased 500 trees for one of our favourite Melbourne sites – Westgate Park, Port Melbourne. And next month, the team will be joining us, on site, to plant the trees. Westgate Park is a 'work in process' with the volunteers working to transform the park into a natural bushland for all of Melbourne to enjoy. The addition of 500 [...]
Earth’s climate is changing. Kids need to know what is happening, why, and how it will affect them in the future. This drawing competition offers kids (4 - 14) a chance to take action to help slow climate change because we will PLANT A TREE for everyone who enters their tree drawing. And if that isn't great enough, all drawings will be part of a giant (7m X 5m) banner [...]
Wilderness. We all have an image in mind of what that word means. Some might picture the majestic mountains, glaciers, and towering conifers of Alaska, while others might imagine the vast expanse of the Amazon, teeming with all sorts of life. Humans are of course part of nature, but these wilderness areas are places of refuge that remain remote from human cities, infrastructure, and encroachment. In the 21st century, such refuges [...]
This year, we are encouraging you to choose the planet to be your valentine! After all, who else loves and looks after us so well - giving us air to breath, water to drink, food to eat and all the materials for anything we could possibly want. Plus, oceans and rivers to swim, mountains to walk, forests to bathe, trees to climb and gardens to enjoy. How [...]
'Today Bee should have been 19. I would like to celebrate this special day by planting trees in her name as a special birthday gift. Although she is no longer with me on earth, I believe the trees will continue her life and spread her love all around. Love lives on and so does Bee. Let's join me in planting trees in Bee's and all our loved ones' honour'. Viv. [...]
Tree Tally - 46 Instead of enabling my sock addiction by gifting socks, gift me a tree instead! Buy 1, buy 5 or even 15 trees! The sky is your limit! And the best part you don't need to get your hands dirty as the trees will be planted on your behalf by Fifteen Trees! Each tree donation will make my heart grow big and strong from appreciating [...]
Having a deep affinity with nature since he was a little boy in the 1940s, Keith Ridsdale has always sought to preserve the environment in his various pursuits - be it sustainable fishing, protecting the waterways and encouraging a habitat for healthy native bird life. Keith has always shared his skills in recognising bird calls with those around him, something he learned when he was young and his fascination [...]
Did you know that an average of 50kg of high-grade paper per office worker is thrown out every year? And that this generally goes straight to landfill? It’s a shocking statistic. Luckily, there are many ways to reduce the waste and, as a result, the impact of white-collar work on the environment. Viatek is a company that takes waste seriously. This comes partly from a genuine commitment to reducing waste, [...]

And as a well-established building company with a reputation for quality and reliability, it is a popular choice. [...]

And we can help you to run an even greener event by organising to plant one tree on the behalf of every guest ($4.80/tree). With enough notice, the trees could be planted before the event, therefore giving you [...]
Here’s a fun fact - you don’t have to be a big business to make a big difference. 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, [...]
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 its distinctive shape. We promised to plant one tree for every post we were tagged [...]

She left behind a wonderful husband and three beautiful young children. To honour her memory on this first anniversary, her family and friends wish to plant a little forest. As a teen, Tamaris spent her first pocket money on a tree to plant in our front [...]
