Golden Beach, Vic

TREES PLANTED

Hello Colleen Our group of volunteers have started to plant your trees along the boundaries of our re-vegetation project at Golden Beach and will continue to plant with working bees in the next few weeks.  In the spring, we have organised some children from the local school to plant ground covers and low shrubs to fill in between the trees. Thanks to the generosity of the Fifteen Trees supporters in helping to keep our project on track. Regards  Merrilynne Hayes (Volunteer co-ordinator)   Golden Beach planting 3 Golden Beach planting 8               Merrilynne Hayes and her group of volunteers from The Open Garden Group planted out 225 trees at Golden Beach last month, due to the generous support of businesses owners such as Peter King at Kings Cars. Peter has been a long time supporter of our native environment and to date has helped with the funding of over 2000 trees. Thank you Peter for your interest and commitment. Slainte – Colleen

‘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.
