We planted at the Hopkins Falls Reserve which is loacted at Wangoom, 15 kms from Warrnambool. We had 32 volunteers including children.

A fair amount of work took place before planting day with weeds needing controlling and the area prepared. Thank you to Jane and her team for preparing the site and organising the day.
Thanks also to Andrew Womersley from G. J. Gardner Homes Warrnambool for his generosity in providing funds for the trees (240). These trees would not have been planted without his support.
In fact, G. J. Gardner Homes across Victoria and Tasmania have been a major supporter of Fifteen Trees and to date have helped get almost 4000 trees into the ground.
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.
‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’.
