Hindmarsh Plumbing Services has been in operation since 1973 and provide employment to over 200 South Australians. They are big players in giving back to their community and they currently support groups such as Cara Respite, Puddle Jumpers and Arthritis SA.
Now they have joined Fifteen Trees and are supporting local community landcare projects in SA. Purchasing 300 trees for Karen Bishop and the Riverland West Landcare group, these trees will reduce the carbon footprint of 20 vehicles in their fleet.
Riverland West Landcare in conjunction with the Australian Vintage Vineyard in Waikerie (SA) recently planted 300 native trees thanks to the generous people from Hindmarsh Plumbing Services.
Employees of Australian Vintage helped lay irrigation pipes to ensure the trees recieve water over the coming summer months.
Thank you to Hindmarsh for your support of this Landcare project in Waikerie. A total of 5 hectares of revegetation is being undertaken by the winery and these trees are a wonderful kick starter! We look forward to seeing the trees progress when we go back next year to do more plantings.

This year, we planted Simon’s trees at Westgate Park in Port Melbourne with the team from Westgate Biodiversity, a not-for-profit organisation located at the base of one of Melbourne’s most iconic landmarks and busiest gateways to the city.
