West Marong (Vic)

TREES PLANTED

West Marong (over near Bendigo) was the site chosen for the 915 trees generosity donated by Danny Breen, Reanna Barnett and Kris Gill from G.J. Gardner Bendigo. This is an extension of the previous year’s plantings to join up with a wildlife corridor into a neighbouring project. This completes a large section of revegetation along a previously fenced drainage line. Greg Ralton was again in charge of the project and prepared the site for planting.

Not only did you pay for the trees for the West Marong Landcare Group, but you also headed out into the field to help plant. From what I hear, you planted 450 trees on the day. Impressive effort. What trees didn’t get ‘in the ground’ have subsequently been planted by the volunteers from the Landcare group. Judy Crocker and Greg Ralton extend their warmest thanks. Slainte – Colleen

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.

For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.

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.
