Meredith Police Paddock Reserve, Victoria.

TREES PLANTED

“Hello Colleen, We had a very successful and enjoyable planting session last Sunday, with 14 people coming along, including children. The Meredith volunteers’ group planted the 330 trees along the delightful Coolebarghurk Creek. The involvement of Fifteen Trees has meant that we could extend significantly what was originally planned for this year at the  Reserve”. Hedley Thompson. Ballarat Environment Network (BEN) Coordinator.

Planting by the Coolebarghurk Creek.

 Janette Etherington from A Plus Apprentice and Trainee Services in Northcote, has once again supported our rural communities and environment by purchasing the 330 trees for Meredith. A Plus has now helped plant 1125 trees over the past 3 years.  A massive amount of support. Thank you Janette for your commitment to our native environment. Please let me know if you’d like to come out to visit your trees in Meredith. Would be a nice day trip!

Slainte – Colleen

‘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.
