Hi Colleen – I’ve attached a photo of a group of our students with their trees. Thank you for this great program. P. Grace, Lumen Christi Primary School, Delacombe, Vic.

Students from Lumen Christi Primary with their trees donated by Ballarat City.

Student from Lumen Christi were delighted to have 165 trees to plant, kindly donated by Justin Krousoratis from Ballart City (Peugeot and Honda). Along with these trees at the primary school, Justin also provided trees to local landowners such as the Tubb and Toose families at Napoleans (60 trees), the Briggs at Bald Hills (45 trees) and the Millar and Morell families at Elmore (again 60 trees each).

Land in dire need of some vegetation.

Gill also received 45 trees from Justin and she writes ‘Our trees were made all the more special because we were able to plant them on the property where we are building, so not only great for the environment, but the children will be able to see the growth and significance in planting the trees. Fifteen Trees is an amazing concept. As you can see from the photo (above) trees are desperately needed in this area’.

A couple of the 45 trees planted on the Briggs property at Bald Hills, Victoria.

Overall, Justin carbon offset another 33 cars with just on 500 trees being planted around the Ballarat and Elmore regions of Victoria.  An amazing effort and I thank him for his support over the past 2 years.

Cheers – Colleen

For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.

300 TREES PLANTED

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.
