On Tuesday 29th July at Tatyoon Recreational Reserve (Ararat) a community planting day took place in which 390 native trees were planted. These trees were replacing the old pine trees that were well past their ‘use by dates’. Kids from Maroona Primary School attended along with Sally and Ashley Heard from G.J Gardner Homes Ararat. Sally and Ashley very kindly donated the funds to enable the Upper Hopkins Landcare Group (UHLG) to source the trees (from local nursery Manna Gums).Una Allender from the UHLG writes .. ‘conditions were perfect on the day, rain fell a few days later, so the young trees had a great start to life‘.[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”]Corey Heard and Cathy Jennings from GJG.Thank you to GJG for your on-going support of our local native environment.

‘Converge have partnered with Fifteen Trees as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability. By planting a tree for every new employee, Converge is helping to restore native habitats, improve biodiversity, capture carbon emissions, and support healthy ecosystems’.

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’. Nel Smit | Nipaluna Community Nursery
