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. Andrew Womersley from G. J. Gardner Homes Warrnambool is a generous supporter of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, Andrew has purchased 270 trees for the Hopkins Falls Landcare Group.

National Tree day was celebrated at the Hopkins Falls, Sunday 31^st July at Wangoom in Southwest Victoria on Sunday with around 40 volunteers coming together to help plant around 700 trees/grasses, weeding and spreading of mulch was also achieved. Many thanks to all those that come along and the large group of wonderful girl guides & families.  We all enjoyed a BBQ afterwards, a very successful day in all with lots of sunshine appreciated by all those who attended.  Also big thank-you to GJ Gardner Homes and Moyne Shire Council for their donation of trees for the day.

Thank you Andrew and the team from GJG for your continued support of our native environment. For many years now, your trees have been planted at the one site at Hopkins Falls. What a wonderful legacy. Slànte – Colleen
