Peter King from King’s Cars Ballarat has been a generous supporter of Fifteen Trees for 7 years. During that time he has helped community groups in the Ballarat district plant over 6,000 trees. Fifteen Trees plants 15 trees for every Mitsubishis ASX sold at the dealership. Corporate social responsibility at its best. Last month, 150 of Peter’s trees were planted at Scotsburn PS.

School teacher, Shaun O’Loughlin wanted trees to help maintain and enhance the rural school grounds at the Scotsburn campus and was delighted to receive 150 from Peter. The trees will add interest to the yard and in years to come will provide shade for playing children. It has been estimated that a tree can drop surrounding temperatures by about 6 degrees C. This is significant with a warming climate and a hot school yard over summer months.
Massive thank you to Peter (and team) for your continued support.

Each year, Fifteen Trees plants native trees for every new home built by the Wodonga team. A tangible and lasting contribution to the local environment.
Chris and Sharri Longmore from G.J. Gardner Homes Shepparton are generous supporters of local community groups, and their tree planting projects. To date, Chris, Sharri and their team purchased almost 3,000 native trees for the Goulburn Valley district.
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.
