The Myrniong and Korkuperrimul Catchment Biolink project aims to revegetate 34 km of creek line to connect the Lerderderg Forest to the Werribee Gorge Park and allow the flow of biodiversity to move down the corridor.

The Lerderderg Forest is between Ballarat and Melbourne. Lev is planting one tree for every customer and is to be lauded for his proactive approach to sustainability in his tree removal business. I’m sure his customers are delighted to know that he is replacing the trees he removes in Melbourne with native trees along the Myrniong Creek.
Thank you to Lev for finding Fifteen Trees and for your support to the rural communities who are working hard to look after our native heritage.
‘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’. Hugo from Hotels for Trees.
‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’. Ballarat Wildlife Park
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.
