People from all walks of life can do things each day to reduce their carbon footprint and make their routine more eco-friendly. Becoming an environmental warrior doesn’t require a superhero-like effort. Something as simple as getting your super & investments out of one of the big 4 banks* or going green with your energy provider.

And then there are those eco-warriors, who purchase trees to enable us to support Australian community tree planting projects.

Thank you to the following who purchased 6 trees to cover their flights:

• Gerri Savage.

And though I may not see you often, I love you dear Maeve.

Love Aunty Paige’

To my darling love,

It’s amazing to think how quickly these five years have passed since we officially tied the knot – what better way to celebrate our wood anniversary than planting some! This has been our best year yet with the birth of our darling baby girl – may she grow to be as strong and tall as these trees (as well as her Daddy)

The right kind of crazy! Yours forever and always – love B.

This year, we gathered up your trees (1,790) and planted them with the Campaspe Valley Landcare Group at 2 sites – Redesdale and Watchbox in Barfold, VIC.

 

Thanks to all supporters of Fifteen Trees, our Landcare group has been able to plan for our revegetation works for 2021. This year we have concentrated mostly on regional roadsides and bushland blocks.

David Cheal | Communications Secretary | Campaspe Landcare

At both sites, River red gums, Lightwoods and Golden Wattles were planted as well as numerous native shrubs and smaller trees.

Thank you to everyone listed above for your contribution to our community tree planting groups. By providing them with trees, they are able to confidently plan their revegetation projects knowing that they have trees to plant.
