Vaughan Springs, Vic.
TREES PLANTED
Twenty five members of the newly reformed Friends of Vaughan Springs gathered last Sunday (June 29th) to plant out a few hundred native trees and shrubs at their local community reserve. The working bee and tree planting day was organised by Noel Muller, Ranger Team Leader of Northern Goldfields at Parks Victoria. Noel hopes that the day will encourage others in the community to join in to help look after the local environment.
One hundred and fifty of the trees were very kindly donated by Kris Gill, Danny Breen and Alan Matthewson from G.J. Gardner Homes Macedon. G.J Gardner Homes (Victoria and Tasmania) are planting 15 trees for every new home built this year. That equates to 5355 trees going out to community groups (such as landcare and school groups) across the 2 states. An impressive company contribution.
A huge thank you to Kris, Danny and Alan from Noel and the team from Vaughan Springs.

‘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.
