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 tours leaves his customers with a better appreciation of Australia’s unique wildlife, culture and heritage. In addition, Damien also regularly supports the conservation of our native environment by purchasing trees for community groups to plant.
As a result of Damien’s support, we recently planted 40 trees at Murrindindi District (Vic) on the behalf of Damien and DNSW Focus on Japan (an annual event in Sydney). This event caters to Japan’s top travel agents and their experiences of NSW best tours. Naturally, EcoTreasures featured prominently at this event.

Strath Creek Landcare Group along with a local landholder planted out the 40 trees to help link previous tree plantings, from Mt Disappointment State Forest to the King Parrot Creek. While new to the Flowerdale district, the landholder has had many years experience revegetating land up along the Murray River. He was very excited to be receiving trees for this important biodiversity link.
In a few years time, we’ll have a great link in the corridor from the mountains to the rivers. This is great news for local fauna such as the Long-nosed bandicoot. Thank you to those, such as EcoTreasures, who partner with Fifteen Trees to provide us with trees for our revegetation projects.

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.
