AGA supports our tree planting efforts.

TREES PLANTED

AGA (Apprentices Plus) is a not-for-profit organisation, focusing on meeting the needs of the young people that they train and employ. CEO Mark Knox and his team believe in also helping out the needs of local communities. As such, this year AGA have provided Steven Joblin and his Flowerdale landcare group with 75 trees for one of their planting projects.

This planting took place in on a residential block in Flowerdale that was destroyed in the 2009 fire. The trees donated by AGA have been used to create a screen along a fence line as habitat for native insects and birds. Previously there had been a pittosporum hedge (a species that readily escapes into the bush), so thanks AGA. The seedlings planted on this site are all indigenous to the area.

mival2   This year, Fifteen Trees and our supporters have provided Steve and his Landcare team with over 3,000 native trees for their re-vegetation projects. Numbers add up so thank you AGA for your 75 trees.  We are delighted to have been able to help out Flowerdale after the devastating fires in 2009.   [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]

RECENT TREE PLANTINGS

100 TREES PLANTED

This year, we planted Simon’s trees at Westgate Park in Port Melbourne with the team from Westgate Biodiversity, a not-for-profit organisation located at the base of one of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks and busiest gateways to the city.

4480 TREES PLANTED

According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.
