They have been planted on the south west side of the property (which is where the fire first entered before wrapping around). These trees were used by many of the bird population for nesting and have unfortunately not regenerated. This location means I can keep an eye on the plants to maximise their survival chances. I will be using wire to make tree guards with plastic bags to help insulate. Thank you to the businesses for allowing this to be possible and thank you for your program. Regards BridgetLeadership Ballarat and Western Region raised some funds during their annual dinner for those who were effected by the Dereel fires in March of this year. Their generosity enabled Bridget to plant 35 trees on her property north of the township. Sofia Fiusco, who runs the program said the group wanted to provide something meaningful to the district. Fifteen Trees was happy to play The Go-Between. Slainte – Colleen

‘Converge have partnered with Fifteen Trees as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability. By planting a tree for every new employee, Converge is helping to restore native habitats, improve biodiversity, capture carbon emissions, and support healthy ecosystems’. Stuart French | Converge International
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.
‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’. Nel Smit | Nipaluna Community Nursery
