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.
A massive thank you to the team from GJG Bendigo. 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.

‘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’.

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.
