Planting trees for J.J. Kell.

TREES PLANTED

80

Jenny Biddy and John Kell from J.J. Kell & Son Funeral Directors (St Arnaud, Victoria) have once again supported our tree planting efforts here at Fifteen Trees by sponsoring the planting of 80 trees. The trees were distributed to groups in the St Arnaud and Donald districts of Victoria.

Bendigo Tafe students — Winjallok Landcare

The Winjallok Landcare group planted 40 of the trees. It was part of a replenishment planting in a wildlife corridor between the Sandy Creek and Avon River. Help with the planting was supplied by Bendigo TAFE Sustainable Ag. students.

The other 40 trees were planted at the Donald Golf Club. In this case, Jenny Biddy went out to help the volunteers plant the trees. The Golf Club is owned by the community. Bulokes and Box trees were planted along the fairways with some smaller species along the boundary fence.

Thank you Jenny and John for your ongoing support of our native environment.

A Subscription for the Planet. Spring Update.

October 18, 2026

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.
