Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013 and has helped plant 1000’s of trees across Victoria and Tasmania. For every new home built, Fifteen Trees organises the planting of 15 trees in the local district. This year, the project will see over 7,000 trees planted by schools, landcare and various environmental groups.
Ashley and Sally Heard from G. J. Gardner Homes Ararat are generous supporters of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, Ashley and Sally purchased 390 trees for Penny Hartwich from the Upper Hopkins Land Management Group.
Hi Colleen,It was great to receive the trees. In time it will help sure up the gully and further establish the native habitat corridor on the property.We fenced, ripped and sprayed the area, and used the Landmate crew to plant and guard the trees. The Landmate crew are a prison group who do environmental and community work, under the guidance of Project Platypus.Looking at the trees today they are shooting away nicely, great to see they have found their roots in a drier than usual season. Thank you once again for organising this generous donation, its future benefits are greatly appreciated.Kind regardsPenny and Russell Hartwich

Thank you Ashley and Sally for your on-going support of tree planting projects in your local district. The trees have found a great home and it is wonderful to see tree guards being used to protect the young seedlings.

‘Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.
‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’. Ballarat Wildlife Park
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.
