Milford, Tasmania/Lutruwita | 50 trees | 2025

The trees were planted at Milford, TAS on the traditional lands of the Tyerrernotepanner People who lived in the vicinity of Campbelltown. The tribe of 60–80 people, followed a seasonal cycle of foraging in North Oyster Bay in winter, conducting kangaroo hunts around Campbell Town in spring, and collecting and trading ochre in the Western Tiers in the summer months.

We are very grateful for the financial support provided by Fifteen Trees and their sponsors this year, it assisted us with planting 500 trees in a very cold windswept area of our property. This planting will make life much more pleasant for wildlife and humans too – thank you.

On a sunny but cold morning in spring, nine (9) people attended the planting day. Volunteers were comprised of family, friends and neighbours who worked in teams of 2 allowing people to interact more deeply over the course of the morning. One attendee was a young man who was recovering from a succession of five surgeries. This planting day was his first day outside gathering community. The plants were a mixture of wattles (Silver, Black, Midlands, Blackwood), eucalypts (Swamp Gum, Swamp Gum, Black Swamp Gum, White Gum), sheoaks, banksias, bottlebrushes, hakeas (Beaked, Tiny Devil), paperbarks and tea trees.

The native environment will be enhanced by the recreation of the endemic vegetation, which over time will provide habitat for native birds, bugs, reptiles and mammals, these trees will also provide shelter from the chilling NW winds of Midland Tasmania. Some of the wildlife who call this area home include quolls, devils, possums, Forester Kangaroos, potoroos, wallaby, snakes, sea eagles, wedge-tailed eagles, and a host of native birds such as Black swans, hawks, kookaburra, cockatoos, rosellas, wattle birds and honey eaters.

Crimson Construction pride themselves on providing a personalised, supportive, and tailored experience for each client, and as the cherry on top – they deliver high-quality construction. Dedicated to exceptional craftsmanship and customer satisfaction, Crimson Construction is one of the many companies on our books who have supported our native tree planting projects, of which we are very grateful.
