Fifteen Trees has been supporting the tree planting efforts of our western Australian neighbours for many years. This time round, 120 trees were planted at the Esperance Cannery Arts Centre.
Thank you Fifteen Trees for providing us with a source of trees that can be used to such great effect within our community. This year we have been able to provided trees to the local ‘Work for the Dole Program’. On behalf of us all, I would like to thank you for your personal efforts in the quest to make Australia more sustainable. Thank you!

Fifteen Trees has organised the planting of these trees on the behalf of all our Facebook friends. Those who have liked our page, written comments, send in photos and shared our page among your networks. Eleven of these (120) trees have special significance. These 11 trees were planted for those brave souls who turned up to our National Tree Day, Tree Pose. Thank you to Belinda Coats (Ballarat Councillor), Paul Tant (manager at Bank Australia) along with his wife Melinda and 2 children, Erin McCuskey (yum studio), Albert Filippa (Green Day Marketing), 2 international students, Jill Clarke and photographer Aldona Kmiec (for taking this photo).

This year, we planted Simon’s trees at Westgate Park in Port Melbourne with the team from Westgate Biodiversity, a not-for-profit organisation located at the base of one of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks and busiest gateways to the city.
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.
‘We’re incredibly grateful to our generous sponsors for supporting this year’s planting. Your contribution helps restore vital bushland, strengthen biodiversity, and inspire a deeper connection between community and country. Thank you for helping us grow something truly lasting’.
