The Myrniong Catchment Project is aiming to revegetate 34km of creek bank to allow the flow of biodiversity of native trees, shrubs and grasses.
When Ballarat companies such as Integra Group jump on board and help out with funding, it makes the job of the landcare groups (who are mostly volunteers) much easier. They can then concentrate on preparing the land (usually by removing the gorse and blackberry) and in some cases fencing off the planting sites from cattle and sheep.
On a windy, wet Friday in September, the Pentland Hills Landcare group headed out to plant over 1000 trees, of which 150 were donated by Integra.
Thank you to Andre Agterhuis and the team at Integra Group for your continued support of our native environment. To date, this company has helped plant over 600 trees at Mt Clear and Horsham, Ross Creek, and Bald Hills.
‘Converge have partnered with Fifteen Trees as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability.

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’.
