They have been planted on fire affected properties on the Glenburn/Kinglake road.Chris Cobern. Fire Recovery Landcare Coordinator.
The Upper Goulburn Landcare Network have planted 400 + indigenous plants in the fire devastated area of Kinglake. This was made possible by Apprenticeships Plus, a Northcote company who has carbon offset their entire fleet of 27 cars with Fifteen Trees. Many thanks to Janette Etherington (CEO of the company), who understands the importance of businesses being proactive and having a positive impact on the environment and our communities .
Thank you Janette and Leah (our go-between), Apprenticeships Plus is the first metropolitan business to carbon offset their fleet of cars with Fifteen Trees. Your support has enabled this new Central Highlands business to spread it’s roots (!) and go state-wide.

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.
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.
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.
