Showcasing Sydney’s beaches, marine parks and mountains, EcoTreasures is a Sydney, nature based company that specializes in local tours with an eco twist. Founder and owner, Damien McClellan is a big supporter of our native environment. Damien’s informative tours leaves his customers with a better appreciation of Australia’s unique wildlife, culture and heritage.
Damien has purchased 150 trees for one of our revegetation sites at Westgate Park, Melbourne, Victoria. Walkin’ the talk, Damien plants trees on the behalf of groups who complete one of his outdoor adventure tours. Of the 150 trees, 75 trees were planted on the behalf of Student Team IFSA and another 50 trees were planted for Student Team UNSW Global. The other 25 trees were planted as part of a 2018 Christmas promo!

Both IFSA and UNSW Global recently completed a student excursion with EcoTreasures. These adventures are designed to bring student teams closer together while enjoying the environs of Sydney. Thank you Damien for your on-going support of our native environment. To date, you have helped us plant almost 300 trees! That’s an Ecotreasure Forest!

Each year, Fifteen Trees plants native trees for every new home built by the Wodonga team. A tangible and lasting contribution to the local environment.
Chris and Sharri Longmore from G.J. Gardner Homes Shepparton are generous supporters of local community groups, and their tree planting projects. To date, Chris, Sharri and their team purchased almost 3,000 native trees for the Goulburn Valley district.
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.
