‘Thank you to Ballarat businesses who have got behind ‘fifteen trees’. I have planted 60 native trees on the western boundary of my property. In a few years, they will provide shelter to the native birds and mammals that live in this area.’ I.J
The trees planted at the Janousek Property at Creswick were kindly paid for by Ballarat City Honda. New car owners Brumby, Toohey, Woodward and Daly all have a smaller carbon footprint thanks to Justin Krousoratis (dealership owner) and Damian Shackell (salesman extraordinaire).
Thanks also must go to I.J. who has spent hours ensuring her trees are well planted with tree guards and mulch. With the fabulous winter rains this year, the trees have a terrific start. Now some sunshine will really get them shooting.
Enjoy the long spring days – Colleen RECENT TREE PLANTINGS

‘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’.

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.
