Thanks must go to four of our Ballarat City Councillors who have carbon offset their cars with Fifteen trees. Through their support, 60 new native trees have been planted at the Sloothaak Property (west of Ballarat). Cr Samantha McIntosh, Cr Craig Fletcher, Cr Des Hudson and Cr Ben Taylor have all contributed privately to this project.
Their leadership is to be commended. Sixty trees (that otherwise would not have been planted) will provide native animals with habitat, prevent soil degradation and over their lifetime will collectively absorb up to 17000kg of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
To date, 60 cars have been carbon offset in 6 short months. We hope to have 100 cars offset by the end of the year … stay tuned – Colleen. RECENT TREE PLANTINGS

Restoring Australian ecosystems. Supporting communities with their revegetation projects for a greener and healthier planet.
Fifteen Trees acknowledges Indigenous Australians as the traditional custodians of the lands on which we work, live and play.
We recognise that Indigenous Australians have cared for and lived in harmony with this land for millennia, and their knowledge and wisdom of the land endures.
We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and stand in solidarity as Indigenous Australians seek a fairer and more sustainable future for the land and its people.
