Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013 and has helped plant 1000’s of 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.
Kris Gill, Danny Breen and Alan Matthewson from G. J. Gardner Homes Sunbury are generous supporters of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, this trio purchased 345 trees for two groups. The Clarkfield and District Landcare Group planted 45 trees and the Toolern Vale Landcare Group planted the remaining 300 trees.

Landcare Coordinator Brad MacPherson from Toolern Vale was delighted to receive 300 trees for his Toolern Creek re-veg project. The trees were a mixture of wattles and eucalyptus. They were sourced from Bacchus Marsh Seeding Farm who are the local experts in providing trees for re-vegetation projects.

Huge thank you to Danny, Kris and Alan. This little creek is going to look amazing in a couple of years time.

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!
