Frankston Beach, Victoria.

TREES PLANTED

Hello Colleen, We had a successful morning undeterred by  a few showers. Ten hearty souls  planted 200 trees and shrubs on the Frankston foreshore just north of the Frankston Yacht Club. Thank you once again.  Johan de Bree. Frankston Beach Association.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]
Here are some of those ‘hearty souls’ Johan refers to.

The dynamic group at Frankston Beach Association planted trees on National Tree Day along with various grasses and shrubs. This was made possible by the generous support of Nikki and Scott Teller from the Bewelded Group at Narracan who helped fund the planting of 96 of the 200 trees. Nikki and Scott are planting trees for each project they complete, each car they own and also to cover their flights. The other 100 plants were made possible by the WA company David Reid Painting Group. Every year, David has one tree planted on the behalf of each customer. That leaves 4 trees short – Fifteen Trees picked up the tab for those.

Lots of groups are madly planting before the season ends, and I still have others wanting to plant if I can find the funding. If you are thinking about helping out – now is the time – conditions are perfect.

Good thoughts without action are really … just good thoughts.

Slainte – Colleen

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.

‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’.
