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.

WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant a selection of native trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
Sometimes there are really simple things everyone can do to reduce their carbon footprint. When staying at a hotel, choosing to skip the room cleaning and having a tree planted instead, is one of those things’. Hotels for Trees.
Individual actions really do matter! Individually we can really only make small differences to the world around us, but collectively our numbers add up. And if enough individuals are involved then forests can be grown!
