Seven volunteers from the Kevin Heinz Garden Center and members of the […]

Last month 120 trees were distributed to 2 groups in central Victoria. Both groups sent in lovely photos of which I’ve included here.  Two fantastic companies and some great school kids have made these plantings possible. Hello Colleen, Here is a photos of the 60 trees and shrubs that we planted, we can’t wait for […]

Hi Colleen, Our students have been doing work on their CPDA (Christian Personal Development) which involves them in work for the community. In this case, a group of students spent the day down the back of the College, improving the natural environment. It was fairly easy to find space for the planting of 30 seedlings […]

‘On Wednesday we had a very successful day planting 100 natives on our rural nature strip in Buninyong thanks to the generous donation from Tamela and Scott from Eucabuild and Colleen from Fifteen Trees with trees supplied by Matt from Ballarat Wild Plants.  Not only do the plants look fantastic, it left us all feeling […]

As a community kindness, Michael Hall from Halls Funeral Services (Diamond Creek) has helped plant 80 native trees in Flowerdale this spring. This area was devastated during the Black Saturday fires of 2009 but is being regenerated by the generous contributions of companies such as Halls. Michael has had one tree planted on the behalf […]

Hello Colleen. This planting site has been slowly improving every year with persistent re-visiting and weed eradication.  Intact grassy ground cover and appropriate over-storey plants have finally gained a foot hold and now out compete the nasty Spiny Rush, Fennel, and Boxthorn. The site has been beautified with the improved biodiversity. The local community has […]

Hello Colleen, We had a successful morning undeterred by  a few showers. Ten hearty souls  planted 200 trees and shrubs on the Frankston foreshore just north of the Frankston Yacht Club. Thank you once again.  Johan de Bree. Frankston Beach Association.

“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”. […]

I met Sumana Rajendra at the Melbourne Sustainable Living Festival back in February when she and a number of her colleagues from Australian Arrow approached my stall. Sumana inquired if Fifteen Trees could help put some action into Arrow’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policies. Absolutely ! Six months later, Arrow employees along with Friends of […]

 Dear Colleen, Just to give you and your readers some background. The walking track at South Durham has been created from a degraded section of crown land along the Yarrawee Creek. It was covered in head high weeds such as gorse and blackberry and riddled with rabbits.  We have worked for years, clearing back the […]
