Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013 and has helped plant 34,000 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.
Simon Spiteri from G. J. Gardner Homes Point Cook is a generous supporter of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, Simon purchased 165 trees for the Werribee River Revegetation Project.

The trees from GJG Homes were planted on the Werribee River in area to be used by students for bush learning. Kim Barker from the Gordon TAFE coordinated the planting with a group of students studying Conservation and Land Management.
Thank you to Simon and the team from G.J. Gardner Homes Point Cook for your generous donation of trees to our magnificent Weribee River.

Massive thank you from us too Simon. Your trees have found a wonderful home on the banks of the Werribee River thanks to NatureWest and their connection with their local TAFE College.

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. (Feature image from Mt Worth Landcare).
Individual actions really do matter! Individually we can really only make small differences to the world around us, but collectively our numbers add up. And if enough individuals are involved then forests can be grown!
