The KH Studio. Celebrating clients and the planet.

‘This year, we knew we wanted to make an impact and support our local community, while also celebrating our KH clients – no matter where they are based. When we found Fifteen Trees, it felt perfectly aligned. Every tree planted locally makes an impact on a global scale’. KH Studio.

Specialist in brands, websites and marketing, The KH Studio have built an impressive client roster, and are committed to building a more eco-friendly Australia, by supporting Fifteen Trees and our native tree planting projects.

 

And we couldn’t be happier!

We at The KH Studio are incredibly proud to partner with Fifteen Trees. We believe that every human on this planet has an impact to make. However little (or big!) we each have that special something within us that can make a real difference.

For us, it’s the power of storytelling and how it can ignite action and create change. Every day we help our clients tell their story and it’s our job to capture it in their brand and digital presence.

By partnering with Fifteen Trees, we are helping to tell a larger story about the importance of giving back to our planet and ensuring that our local community continues to flourish for generations to come.

Western Port, VIC | 30 trees | 2025

The Koala Corridor Project is a partnership between Moonlit Sanctuary Wildlife Conservation Park and the Western Port Biosphere Foundation. The Foundation (est 2003) aims at achieving sustainable development goals in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve which encompasses both the Mornington Peninsula and the Western Port coastline. 

 

School students helped plant a number of the trees.

 

The project by Western Port Biosphere is divided into four key components;

  • Population surveys and research 
  • Revegetation 
  • Outreach and
  • Education and stakeholder liaison. 

 

Each of these elements plays a vital role in achieving their mission to enhance the genetic diversity of koalas in the Biosphere Reserve. They are also focused on creating more and safer dispersal routes for all wildlife. This is being accomplished through a comprehensive habitat restoration program, designed to enrich and reconnect habitats across both private and public lands. 

 

The trees (30) were planted at Cannons Creek, on Bunurong Land and consisted of a mixture of Manna Gums, Swamp Gums, Peppermints, Wattles, She-Oaks, Dogwood, Melaleuca and Lomandra.

 

We would like to thank those who support Fifteen Trees for funding for this project. The money enables us to reach out to our network and community to distribute important habitat to support the restoration and protection of the Western Port Biosphere Reserve’s natural ecology.

From schools to landowners wanting to create wildlife corridors to connect remnant vegetation, or to restore the health of their bushland, dams, and waterways, the plants we can provide go a long way to helping to repair degraded land across the Reserve. Many thanks for supporting the work that we do.

When considering what to buy their clients for their Christmas in July celebrations, the team landed on a sustainable gift that helps protects the planet. This is a great move, not only to show their deep sense of responsibility to honour and nurture our environment for now, but also for future generations.

 

Thank you to our incredible clients who continue to choose our small but mighty studio to help their business make a bold, and aligned impact in the digital space. We are very grateful for your trust in us and our work, we appreciate you all so much. Our partnership with you not only enriches our business but it fulfils us personally, and it supports our beautiful life and family.

For this Christmas in July, we wanted to find a way for you to feel the impact you have on us. Which is why we have chosen to plant a tree on your behalf. We hope you feel pride in supporting your community and giving back to our planet. Thank you from myself [Kira] and Alyssa, and the entire team at The KH Studio.

Happy Christmas in July!

Bendigo, VIC | 100 trees | 2024

To celebrate National Tree Day, Bendigo and Maryborough Girl Guides, their leaders and families headed to the Huntly Streamside Reserve (Dja Dja Wurrung Country) to plant trees, with the assistance of the Northern Bendigo Landcare Group. This was all made possible through the generous sponsorship of Kira and Alyssa.

 

Two girl guides celebrating NTD by planting trees.

 

On site, the girls learnt about the history, threats and assets of the reserve and why the local Landcare group cares so much about it. After an introduction on the importance of indigenous species and a quick planting demonstration, the girls set to work. The pre-drilled holes made things easier and they soon got into a good rhythm.  Over two hours the girls, aged between 6 and 15 worked tirelessly in good spirits. They loved hammering in the stakes as they guarded plants. Not a complaint!

 

Girls worked together to complete the planting.

 

It was a delight to have the group on site. We have encouraged them to return to this lovely area of public land in future to check on their plants. Thanks to Fifteen Trees and The KH Studio for the plants allowing this memorable experience to be provided for the Girl Guides.

The quote of the morning was, ‘Mum, I just realised I LOVE planting trees. Can we fill our whole back yard with them?’

Nicole Howie | Facilitator | Northern Bendigo Landcare

 

The trees and shrubs planted will provide understorey to the existing eucalypts at the site, help restore indigenous vegetation and showcase our beautiful native vegetation to not only locals, but also to the many visitors who visit.

 

 

Lara, VIC | 80 trees | 2023

The native trees were planted recently by volunteers from the Koala Clancy Foundation at Lara, VIC. Some of the tree species planted for KH Studio’s clients, included River-red gum, Yellow gum, Manna gum, Sweet Bursaria, Wirilda and Lightwood. All trees were sourced from local indigenous nursery at Western Plains Flora.

 

Volunteers from Koala Clancy Foundation.

 

The Koala Clancy Foundation is working with landowners and councils to provide habitat corridors for their local wild koala populations. During the course of this planting season (April – September) they hope to plant thousands of native trees.

 

Thank you so much for your support this tree planting season.  Thanks to supporters like you we can continue with our community tree planting projects to provide habitat trees for our local wild koala populations.

Janine Duffy | President | Koala Clancy Foundation

 

At the Koala Clancy Foundation, koalas are their top priority but to properly care for one specie, they have to care for the entire ecosystem. When they plant trees for koalas, they are also providing habitat for local bird species such as these 4 threatened woodland species; Speckled Warbler (top L), Diamond Firetail (top R), Brown Treecreeper bottom L) and Jacky Winter (bottom R).

 

Birds of the Brisbane Ranges.

 

Seeing the planet as something precious and worth preserving, is at the root of constructive change in ensuring better pathways to protect our habitat, people, flora, fauna, and all the creatures who benefit from clean air and waterways, plus carbon sequestering, and will ensure the safety and survival of our Australian landscapes.

 

 

Thank you to Kira, Alyssa and the creative team at The KH Studio.

We cannot do without trees nor bees. Ana and Sven from Amber Drop Honey, recognise that we are all interconnected, and that there is no future in taking without giving back.

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.
