Ross Creek

TREES PLANTED

‘Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my tree today’. Martin Luther  Hi Colleen, We have planted the trees we got through Fifteen Trees at Ross Creek. Our Landcare members and friends prepared the sites and the trees were planted on National Tree Day 31st July 2011. They were obtained from Matt Pywell at Ballarat Wildplants and will be well looked after by our Landcare group.   With thanks –  Rosemary Barnett Rosemary’s Landcare group were able to plant these trees (150)  due to the generous support of Andre Agterhuis at Integra. Andre has carbon offset his fleet of 10 cars and has joined the forward thinking companies of Australia who put ‘looking after our environment’ onto their agendas and into their policies.  Andre has entered into a 3 year partnership with Fifteen Trees to help reduce Integra’s carbon footprint. We are now into the second year of this partnership and Integra has helped fund the planting of 300 trees in the Ballarat district. The number of trees planted with the assistance of Fifteen Tree supporters – 4155

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.
