Colleen, we are enormously grateful for the trees that we all enjoyed watching ‘leap out of their pots.’ Spring arrived and we planted then rather than risk frost. We do not need to have shelters on them as the weather is perfect and we do not have roo’s or rabbits here. We have planted on private and public land (crown land opposite us).
Many thanks for this investment in the future. Deborah, Darryl and the four boys.
The sixty trees planted at Castlemaine have been generously paid for by Julie Phillips and Ross Gillet (15 trees), Simon Canny (15 trees) and Troy Kelly fromAperim (30 trees). Troy is giving a gift of a tree planted for every new and renewing customer at his Internet support company.
Thank you to friends (who have jumped on board) and to those who have gone ‘surfing’ and found Fifteen Trees.
‘Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.
‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’. Ballarat Wildlife Park
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.
