Hepburn PS plants trees.

TREES PLANTED

Hi Colleen, Please find attached some photos from our tree planting last Friday. The photo shows one of the teachers demonstrating how to plant the tube stock. Tree planting. The children worked with their buddy and will be responsible for looking after their tree. We used Hamilton tree planters for the holes, watered them in with seasol and put a guard around each one. Colleen, please thank your supporters for the opportunity to plant 75 trees with our school children. Cilla Leonard Acting Principal Hepburn PS

And so … I pass on the thanks to Richarda who has enabled these 75 trees to be planted in a small primary school in the Hepburn Shire (just near Daylesford). Richarda wanted Fifteen Trees to plant on the behalf of her father Andy. Andy was a long time Landcare member, who collected local seed from native trees to propagate seedlings. These seedlings he then planted on the family farm.

What a wonderful legacy! Slainte – Colleen

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.

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.

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.
