The Pentland Hills Project (Vic).
TREES PLANTED
The Pentland Hills district of Victoria is roughly 50 km west north-west of Melbourne. If you have ever traveled up to Ballarat (by road or rail) you will at some stage find yourself weaving through these hills. This district has its own micro-climate. The weather will suddenly change from sunshine to howling winds and rain, the road signs will light with flashing ‘slippery with wet’ warnings, fog will fall like a wet blanket and the sky will become ominously black (I exaggerate not).
However, living amongst these hills are a group of hardy landholders who care very much for their native environment. So much so, that they are working their way along the Myrniong Creek planting trees as part of a Biolink project that links Mt Blackwood to the Werribee Gorge. This project is long term and on going.
Helping out with their tree planting day this year, were volunteers from the Bacchus Marsh Lions Club, the Myrniong Primary School and the Friends of Werribee Gorge.
Fifteen Trees and Pentland Hills Landcare would like to jointly thank CEO Poul Bottern and executive assistant Leah Phelan from A Plus, Apprentice + Trainee Services for the generous donation of 330 trees to this project.
A Plus has been long time supporters of our native environment through Fifteen Trees. The trees planted at the Pentland Hills will help reduce the carbon footprint of the 22 vehicles in their fleet.

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!
