Esperance (WA)

TREES PLANTED

Across the country in WA, 450 trees were planted by students from Esperance Primary School to help replace trees that were vandalised when the school first opened. Banksia, grevilleas, and hakea were just some of the native trees and shrubs planted around the many garden beds in the school. Students from Grades 6 and 7 joined in with the tree planting day and sustainability was the topic across the school.   10626255_726413857424007_1278207074202231306_o These native plants were very generously donated by Trudy Hardy and her team at G.J. Gardner Homes Esperance. In partnership with Fifteen Trees, GJG Esperance plants 15 trees for every home they build and has been a part of the Fifteen Trees project for a number of years. 15-Trees-press-clipping Thank you Trudy and the team for your on-going support of your local community and local native gardens.

‘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.
