Trees go out to West Tamar and Exeter High, Tasmania.

TREES PLANTED

Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013 and has helped plant 30,000 trees across Victoria and Tasmania. For every new home built, Fifteen Trees organises the planting of 15 trees in the local district. This year, the project will see over 8,500 trees planted by schools, landcare and various environmental groups. GJGLogo_NO-TAG_WHITE_BG_lrg Chris and Tanya Dell from G. J. Gardner Homes Launceston are generous supporters of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, this duo have purchased 225 trees for Alison Hugo and her regional Landcare group. Trees went to 2 sites – Exeter High School and West Tamar Landcare.   [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]

Alison writes … Over 100 Exeter High School and Exeter Primary School students planted out an area alongside a recently fenced off waterway, on the school farm. These native plants will assist in the establishment of a biodiversity corridor that will help not only improve the quality of the water but also increase habitat values. West Tamar Landcare members spent a wintery Saturday afternoon planting out natives as part of a rehabilitation project near Stony Creek. The group have been working in the area for over 12 months removing environmental weeds, building paths and assisting with rehabilitation the area. The group were also joined by G.J. Gardner staff. Thank you Chris and Tanya for your continued support of our planting projects. Alison Hugo | Biodiversity Project Coordinator | Northern Tasmania NRM

Huge effort behind the scenes to get tree planting days up and running. Thank you Alison and your team for finding a home for our trees (225). Thanks also to Chris and Tanya and the team from G.J. Gardner Homes Launceston for getting behind your local community by, paying for the trees and getting out there and planting them.

‘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’. Ballarat Wildlife Park

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.
