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!

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.

Bendigo, VIC | 100 trees | 2025

Years ago, when Bendigo Landcare facilitator Nicole and her family purchased their property, one of their first goals was to rehabilitate the existing dam. With sheep removed from the paddock, the sedges and reeds began to return naturally, and the owners followed up with additional plantings of shrubs and trees. Today, that once-tired dam has become a thriving haven for wildlife regularly visited by ducks, spoonbills, grebes, cormorants, ibis and more.

A second dam was later constructed to provide additional water storage and stock access. Unlike the first, this dam had long remained bare and exposed, its banks lacking structure and vegetation. After hosting a webinar on the role of farm dams as biodiversity hotspots, Nicole was inspired to reimagine what this dam could become: a well-vegetated wetland that would support wildlife while still accommodating farm operations.

Support from The KH Studio has made the first stage of this rehabilitation possible. Through donated native grasses, shrubs and trees, the previously bare banks are now being stabilised and replanted. These new plantings will help hold the soil together, reduce sediment flowing into the water, improve water quality, and create shade and shelter for wildlife. Over time, they’ll also provide food sources, nesting opportunities and safe refuges for native animals that depend on healthy freshwater systems.

This project represents an important step toward improving the ecological health of the entire property. Sincere thanks go to all those who contributed plants, time and support helping turn a simple farm dam into a flourishing pocket of biodiversity.

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.

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.

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!

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?’

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.
