Rebecca Belleli | Marketing and Sales Manager | Addcom

Addcom puts a great deal of energy into figuring out ways to make their IT systems greener and more sustainable and that simply doing business comes at a cost. In 2021, Addcom has partnered with Fifteen Trees to plant trees for every new customer, and to date has planted over 2,000 native trees in NSW, VIC, QLD and TAS.

Mt Mercer, VIC | 10 trees | September 2025

The trees were planted by the Banks family along with the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority at Mt Mercer. Wadawurrung Country in Central Victoria, on the behalf Insite Architects. The trees were a mixture of Blackwoods, Gumtrees, Wattles, Sheoaks and River Red Gums. Over time, these trees will provide valuable vegetation for the native animals living in the area, improving habitats and promoting biodiversity.

The area is home to wildlife such as Echidnas, Parrots, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Magpies, Kookaburras and the iconic Black Cockatoos.

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Fifteen Trees initiative. The planting of these trees will be cherished by our family. We are proud to have created new habitats for the native animals in our area. From all of us, thank you for everything.

Bombay, NSW | 121 trees | September 2024

The trees were planted on the behalf of Blooms The Chemist in the the upper Shoalhaven River catchment district, 14km to the southwest of Braidwood on the traditional lands of the Ngarigo and Yuin nations. Conservation reserves in the area include Tallaganda National Park and Tallaganda Conservation Area. Most of the district was historically cleared and is still used for pastoral activities.

This region is predominately made up of vegetation associated with Dry Sclerophyll Forests.  The Eucalyptus tree canopy is sparse to mid-dense and consists predominately of Broad Leaved Peppermint, Red Spotted Gum and Scribbly Gum. The occasional Black Sheoak forms part of a sparse small tree layer. The Bombay region is also home to the critically endangered Bombay Bossiaea, a wiry shrub, with pea shaped yellow flowers growing in the steep valley of the Shoalhaven River.

We are absolutely delighted to benefit from your wonderful generosity.  The local land owners who form the Bombay Landcare Group take great pride in their efforts to put back into the local environment. We have used your donation to purchase ‘fit for purpose’ local species to regenerate the land. From the prevention of erosion to building wildlife corridors, the regeneration effort of our group will no doubt have a positive and lasting impact on the region.

Carmen Byrne | President | Bombay Landcare Group

Some of the species of trees planted at the site included; Wattles (Snowy River, Silver, Green and Blackwood), Hakeas, She-Oaks and Gums (Black, Red Spotted, Yellow Box, Black Sally and Ribbon), Bottlebrushes (Riber, Scarlet, Lemon and Crimson) and Tea trees.

Moyhu, VIC | 70 trees | August 2023

The trees (70) were planted this month on the behalf of Blooms The Chemist by the Greta Landcare Group at Moyhu, on Taungurung country in North East Victoria.

We are very thankful for all the financial support and assistance that has been provided to make our Moyhu Walking Track and Landcare Botanic Gardens a reality.

Sally Day | Coordinator | Greta Valley Landcare Group.

And thank you also to the Greta Landcare Group whose love of their district has meant more habitat for native animals, including the insectivorous, seed eating and nectivorous birds. Given that the area was completely devoid of vegetation, it is expected that it will take up to 5 years for bird diversity and abundance to increase at the site. Fifteen Trees aims to continue supporting this project with generous sponsors such as Addcom.

Daintree Rainforest, QLD | 190 trees | February 2023

Daintree Life is a small conservation group situated up in the Daintree Forest of far north Queensland. They have been planting trees in the Daintree since 2018. They firmly believe in restoring and expanding natural habitat for wildlife. Founders, Connie and Mike Pinso (pictured above), work closely with Queensland Parks and Wildlife, removing rank grasses and weeds in the National Park to restore food resources and ecological function. Funding from Addcom has enabled them to continue their revegetation work.

We welcome Addcom’s commitment to helping restore and preserve this unique place and encourage other businesses and individuals to do the same.

Condobolin, NSW | 750 trees | September 2022

The Condbolin and District Landcare Group were very grateful to receive 750 mixed native seedlings from B2B Technology. The trees were planted across a number of different sites in the region including the local park in Condobolin. Tree species included Blakeley’s red gum, Melaleuca moonah, Lemon scented gum, Silver banksia, Buloke, Yellow box, Crimson Mallee and Pink flowering yellow gum.

We took the opportunity to connect with a range of people within our community by holding a biodiversity day at the park in town. This was to encourage people to get outdoors, connect with each other, plant some native plants and showcase the benefits of looking after our local environment. Schools also got involved in the event, which was fantastic to see.

Many thanks to B2B Technology for your continued support of our revegetation projects.

Bullanbul Creek, VIC | 470 trees | May 2022

Planting of 470 trees occurred at a remote spring fed gully in Bullanbul Creek, Grassmere, SW Victoria, which had very few existing tree species. The site was wet underfoot therefore trees were planted on the higher section close to fence line and species selected survive well in wet conditions.

The owner of the property had his first experience in planting native trees and was helped by two members of the Hopkins Falls Landcare Group, which was a great experience for all involved. A huge thanks to Fifteen Trees and B2B Technologies for the offer of the trees and your help to make these plantings possible.

Jane O’Beirne | Coordinator | Hopkins Falls Landcare Centre

Daintree, QLD | 200 trees | March 2022

This month, B2B trees were planted by community group Daintree Life at the wonderful Cape Tribulation. Working with a team of 14, they very quickly planted 500 trees, of which 200 were provided by B2B.

In conjunction with Douglas Shire Council, various stakeholders and landowners, Daintree Live aims to:

• identify key areas of land for suitable revegetation,
• to promote positive outcomes for the Daintree ecosystem and the broader environment and
• help the local economy.

Connie, Dave and the team were delighted with the trees we were able to provide them with and sincerely thank our ongoing supporters such as Addcom.

Seymour, TAS | 250 trees | September 2021

Hundreds of native seedlings (250) have already been planted at Seymour, TAS  thanks to Addcp, and their customers. These young trees (Eucalyptus globulus, Allocasuarina verticillata and Banksia marginata) are busy cleaning the air, providing habitat, and fortifying our landscape against the challenges to come. We love a company that can see the connection between its growth and its impact and chooses to do something about it.

Condobolin, NSW | 100 trees | June 2021

Condobolin and Districts Landcare were lucky to receive 100 mixed native tubestock for planting in our region. A number of different sites were chosen for these plantings which comprised of both public land (Gum Bend Lake) and on private land in the area.

A local youth group helped to plant seedlings in the new bird habitat area of our recreational lake. This area has been created to give birds a safe area to rest, breed and forage for food. The plantings will stabilise the banks of the lake and create vital habitat for the birds and other wildlife. The tubestock, once grown, will facilitate numerous benefits to our native wildlife such as bees, gliders, birds, insects and bugs, but there will also be many benefits seen in land productivity through soil stabilisation, wind and shelter belts to surrounding land and livestock. The list goes on.

All species planted were native to Australia, some being endemic to our region also.

Thank you to the supporters of Fifteen Trees for supplying these seedlings to our community. We are ever so grateful and look forward to seeing them growing into strong, healthy plants.

Sarah Cranney | Local Landcare Coordinator | Condobolin & Districts Landcare

Some of the species planted included: Wyalong Wattle, Weeping Myall, Lemon-scented Bottlebrush, River Oak, Lemon scented Gum, Red Flowering Gum, River Redgum, Yellow Gum, Grey Box, Christmas Hakea and Honey Honey Myrtle.

It’s not only community-spirited of Addcom to consider the inbuilt carbon costs of its industry – it’s sound business practice. When things run smoothly, efficiently, and with a compassionate eye on the future, everyone benefits. The company, the client, and the environment. That’s how sustainability works.
