TREES PLANTED
Ross Morley, Managing Director of G. J. Gardner Homes has been supporting our native environment (through Fifteen Trees) since 2013 and to date has helped plant over 25,000 trees (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.
Pat Menzies from G. J. Gardner Homes Whittlesea is a generous supporter of local community groups and their tree planting projects. This year, Pat purchased 75 trees for the Upper Goulburn Landcare Network.
Hi Colleen, Eighteen people attended the Kinglake Landcare Groups National Tree Day event on Sunday 31st July. We planted 150 plants of which 75 were kindly donated by G.J. Gardner Whittlesea. Some of the species included the nationally threatened Round-leaf Pomaderris and the locally rare Hairy Mint Bush. We finished off a great day with a well earned BBQ lunch. Regards, Chris Cobern | Landcare Coordinator | Upper Goulburn Landcare NetworkThank you Chris for finding a home for GJG’s trees. Your commitment to the native environment is appreciated and noted! Slàinte – Colleen

‘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’.

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.
