Catalina Park, Vic.

TREES PLANTED

Tricia Pollard from the Lake Boga and District Landcare Group have worked hard to ensure their local habitat is well managed and looked after. Tricia and her team have been working on the Catalina Project for a few years now and has enticed a number of groups (Lions Club, Bowling Club, Swan Hill Council and Men’s Shed) to help out with creating a beautiful native park for the town.

Catalina Park is close to the Lake Boga Foreshore near the Flying Boat Museum. Eventually, Tricia and her group will be adding signage to enable visitors to find out more about the local species of vegetation.

This is the second year that GJG have been involved with tree planting in their local area. Across Victoria and Tasmania, G.J. Homes are planting 15 trees for every new home built. That’s over 6000 trees going out to community groups in these two states. Great community support from this company. Slainte – Colleen

For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.

There’s something quietly powerful about a person who decides, on their own, to do something good for the planet. No fanfare, no corporate mandate – just a simple choice to put a few trees in the ground. When hundreds of individuals make that same choice, something remarkable happens. Native forests are restored, wildlife corridors are rebuilt, and community groups across Australia get to do the work they love. So if you’ve ever purchased trees through Fifteen Trees, thank you.
