Sue McIennan from David Reid Homes wanted some trees planted on the behalf of a client not only to help reduce their carbon footprint but also to give back to their local community and environment.

Sue your trees have been planted in your home state of Queensland, along the banks of the Johnstone River. Students from Innisfail State College planted your trees as part of a larger planting of 1000 trees on National Tree Day. The trees were selected and laid out in consultation with the Johnstone Region Landcare Group.
Thank you Sue for finding Fifteen Trees and for your support of our native environment.

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.
