Each office supports the planting of 15 trees for every new home built. This year, this will add up to over 7,000 trees for schools, landcare and various environmental groups.Anthony Ruff from G.J Gardner Homes Central Gippsland is a huge supporter of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, Anthony purchased 435 trees for The Yarram Yarram Landcare Network and then went out and planted them.

We planted 435 trees on the bank of the Merriman Creek, which is the water supply for Seaspray. Last summer, the landcare group worked hard at ridding the banks of weeds (mostly blackberry) so our tree planting efforts will be a great edition to that project.Thanks for everything. It was a roaring success. About 30-40 people all up. Alas we soon ran out of trees!Sally-Ann Henderson | Coordinator | West Gippsland CMA[/fusion_builder_column][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”]Hardworking team of volunteers.

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’.
