Phillip Island

TREES PLANTED

  Phillip Island 495 trees  
  With the generous help from GJ Gardner Homes through the Fifteen Trees Program, the Phillip Island Landcare Group undertook the planting of 210 plants on a Ventnor property of David Rooks. These plants were planted in June 2020 prior to the second COVID lockdown. There was a school group from the Village School on Phillip Island who came and planted several hundred plants on the site, followed up by Landcare community members who then planted the balance of the plants the following week. David Rooks whose property the planting took place said, ‘We are so grateful to GJ Gardner Homes and the 15 Trees program for their help in providing these plants we are establishing on our property, to help enhance biodiversity and provide many other positive environmental outcomes. Many thanks to the Fifteen Trees Program and GJ Gardner Homes for their ongoing assistance to the Phillip Island Landcare Group in supporting the revegetation program on the Island.  This help is contributing greatly toward the enhancement and growth of the Phillip Island Wildlife Corridor and improving the quality of environment in our unique landscape. Thank you. Geoff Trease | Treasure | Bass Coast Landcare

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.
