Let me introduce Danni Carr and Ash Grunwald (Byron Bay, NSW) and their Eco Award Winningcompany called Earth Bottles. This fabulous duo donate a percentage of their bottle sales to community groups for their tree planting projects. Through their company, they also generously supportClean Coast Collective, Beyond Blue and Breast Cancer Network Australia. Fifteen Trees is delighted to be working in association with Danni, Ash and of course the wonderful Briody Scholes (Torquay, Vic).
On National Tree Day, in the Baw Baw Shire, 300 trees were planted by Karla Rutherford and her team of volunteers. Of this number, 90 were funded by Earth Bottles.

Please find attached a photo of Baw Baw Shire’s National Tree Day event at Brooker Park, Warragul on Sunday 30th July. Funds from Fifteen Trees were used to continue restoration works along Hazel Creek. In total 1030 plants were installed by community volunteers, 300 of which were supplied by supporters of Fifteen Trees. A combination of trees, shrubs and grasses were installed to replicate the vegetation type that previously occurred at the site. A total of 53 volunteers participated on the day, making a significant contribution to improving the local environment.
Massive thank you to Earth Bottles and your support of Fifteen Trees, and in turn … us!
Karla Rutherford | Environmental Officer | Baw Baw Shire

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.
