Flexicar, the premier car sharing company in Melbourne are ‘on a roll’ in the tree planting scene and have helped plant out another forest of trees (600). On Friday 26th July, 50 students and teachers from the local primary school, planted 400 trees in only a few short hours. The other 200 trees were planted the very next day.

However, there is new growth and the place is lush and green and the community spirit strong. TOO RIGHT! (my words).
The aim is to re-vegetate the area to increase biodiversity and provide habitat for wildlife including the Greater Glider and Long-nosed Bandicoot that live in the adjacent Number Two Creek Reserve. We would like to thank Fifteen Trees and their supporters for providing the trees for this important project.
Chris Coburn, Upper Goulburn Landcare Network.
A huge thank you to Simon Bracken, the Marketing Manager at Flexicar who has taken this project on. As a bike commuter and green enthusiast, Simon did not need any convincing to support our native forests through Fifteen Trees.
Slainte – Colleen

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.
We have a handful of organisations and small companies, who purchase trees when they can. These people are masters of ingenuity when it comes to incorporating tree planting into their business practices.
