TREES PLANTED

When you carbon offset your car or flight with Fifteen Trees, you get to see exactly where your trees have been planted and you directly support our rural environment and communities.

: John planting (and protecting) his 60 trees.

Hi Colleen,

As promised I have attached some photos of my partner John planting trees…. in the rain….. again!! LOL…. It was freezing today and definitely not the day to get pretty photos. The 60 native tubestock have been planted in paddocks to improve the wildlife corridors on and adjacent to our property. We are also fencing off some huge old paddock trees and planting around them to create vegetation islands in the middle of paddocks.

I want to thank you for making the trees available and I think it is a wonderful idea to connect landholders with other people in the community in this way.

Keep up the good work! Regards – Jill Karena

The trees planted at Harcourt last month were generously paid for by three individuals who contacted Fifteen Trees looking for a tangible way to reduce their carbon footprint. John Toman, Claire Coulson and Mr/Ms Long all carbon offset their vehicles with Fifteen Trees and as a result 60 trees were planted in the ‘apple district’ of Central Victoria.

As you can see from the photo and comments, Jill and John have taken good care of the trees and planted them with full protection (from cattle, weeds and rabbits). Over time, these trees will become a natural habitat for the local flora and fauna, as well as provide clean air and water.

Thank you to those who find Fifteen Trees on the internet, like what they see and then take the time to contact us.

Cheers – Colleen

The number of trees planted with the assistance of Fifteen Tree supporters – 4215

A Subscription for the Planet. Winter Update.

June 10, 2026

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.

Hotels for Trees. VIC

May 17, 2026

For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.

Collective Action. Individuals for the Planet.

April 29, 2026

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.
