AGA is a not-for-profit company providing assistance to those in apprentice and trainee vocations. They support both the apprentice and the employer for the duration of the training period. They are also a company that supports our native environment by providing trees to rural Landcare groups via Fifteen Trees.
This year, AGA continues to reduce the carbon emissions of their fleet with Fifteen Trees. Twenty vehicles @ 15 trees per car = 300 trees. Flowerdale Landcare was the grateful recipient of AGA trees. This dynamic group of landowners were delighted to receive more trees for their ongoing re-generation projects.

On Friday 28th of August, a group of National Australia Bank volunteers planted 300 tree seedlings in Flowerdale. This re-vegetation project was along the creek bank and the surrounding hills. The trees will contribute to bank stabilisation and provide habitat for insects that form part of the diet of the endangered Macquarie Perch that breed in this district. Thank you to AGA for your assistance in helping us to replant this beautiful district after the 2009 bush fires’. Steve Joblin | Coordinator | Flowerdale Landcare.

Thank you to Poul Bottern and Mark Knox for your generosity. AGA’s trees (300) have been planted as part of a bigger project in the Murrindindi district. Thank you also to Leah Crellin. The woman who helps keep us all stay connected.

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. (Feature image from Mt Worth Landcare).
Individual actions really do matter! Individually we can really only make small differences to the world around us, but collectively our numbers add up. And if enough individuals are involved then forests can be grown!
