“Thank you to Pana and the team from Pana Chocolate. The day went really well and we had 24 folk turned up. People drifted off from 12.00 pm with the last of us staying to 2.30 pm. Everyone worked well and we got 800 trees planted on the day. We have more groups going to Botany Bay in September that will plant the remaining 200. Pana chocolate was shared among the planters and was most certainly appreciated!” Michael Ellison Regional Manager – Sydney | Conservation Volunteers Australia.

This year, Pana has committed 9,600 trees for Fifteen Trees for distribution to environmental groups such as Landcare and Conservation Volunteers. Stay tuned for more trees and photos. A great company that ‘walks the talk’ … “Love Your Insides. Love The Earth.”

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.’
