Yelta Landcare Group in the Mallee District have been busy helping out the local Merbein Golf Club with their wildlife corridor. On Sunday 30th June, the group along with staff from local home builder G.J. Gardner, planted out 100 trees.
Trees were sourced from the Lang’s Native Nursery and were a mixture of native corymbias and eucalyptus. The scarlet-flowering and lemon-scented gums will attract the beautiful lorikeets that populate the area.

Across Victoria and Tasmania, G.J. Gardner Homes are helping our native environment by paying for 15 trees for every new home built. The trees are distributed (by Fifteen Trees) to local landcare groups to plant.

We have a handful of organisations and small companies, who purchase trees when they can. These people are masters of ingenuity when it comes to incorporating tree planting into their business practices.
The Kogi people of Northern Columbia have been sending the same message to the West for years. It’s a familiar refrain here at Fifteen Trees, and one we wholeheartedly endorse: ‘Unless we stop violating the Earth and nature, depleting the Great Mother of her material energy, her organs, her vitality; unless people stop working against the Great Mother, the world will not last.’
