Richard Hayden from Hayden Real Estate has been supporting the work of Fifteen Trees since 2013. Every year, we plant 30 trees to help reduce the carbon emissions from his 2 work vehicles.
This year, Richard’s trees were planted at Urquhart Park Primary School. Shiree Pilkinton is on the school council and heads up the ‘grounds and building’ sub-committee. Shiree write … “Hi Colleen, I am attaching some photos from yesterday’s tree planting session at Urquhart Park PS. What a fantastic day! Nothing better than seeing parents, students and teachers all getting involved in the ‘school yard blitz’ session and giving the school grounds a much needed make-over. Thank you and Richard so much for making this project possible. This is step one of our ‘greening our learning environment’ project.

Thank you Richard and the team at Hayden’s Real Estate for your continued support. As you can see the students had a great time getting into the garden. Your donation of 30 trees made that all possible.

‘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’. Ballarat Wildlife Park
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.
