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

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.

300 TREES PLANTED

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.
