Central Gippsland (Vic).
TREES PLANTED
Towards the end of winter, over Gippsland way, 225 trees were planted through the generosity of local building company G.J. Gardner Homes Sale. The trees went to 2 sites, 115 to Nicki and Peter Jennings in Giffard West and another 110 trees to Elizabeth Balderstone at Warrigal Creek. As Elizabeth was the recipient of the State Landcare Award (2014) we know these trees are in very good hands.
Nicki writes .. Hi Colleen,A team of office staff from GJG Sale, (including the boss Anthony Ruff) came out this afternoon to plant 115 trees. It was lovely to have them involved in such positive and generous work. The sun shone and it was all done in a friendly and chatty way. We also shared some refreshments which rounded off a great afternoon.The trees are all from local seed and a local nursery. They are the same species growing in the adjoining roadside vegetation where some of the seed was collected. The planting which is part of a greater 750 m long planting will help improve and protect the roadside vegetation.Thank you for involving us in Fifteen Trees.Thank you to Anthony and the team from GJG Sale for not only paying for the trees but also for heading out to 2 properties to help plant them. A fantastic effort for which both Nikki and Elizabeth were both very grateful and appreciative.Slainte – Colleen

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’.
