James and Susan Bufton have for many years worked the historic Staughton Vale holding. Located at the foot of the Brisbane Ranges, it is a landmark property of historical and architectural significance. The blue-stone home (1870) is one of the earlier homes in the area.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]Planting along the Little River. The couple have extensively revegetated almost the full length of the the Little River that runs through the property. The revegetation has resulted in the Little River becoming a more effective wildlife corridor as well as a contributer to the health of the waterway. Through the supporters of Fifteen Trees, we were able to offer James and Susan 165 trees for planting at Staughton Vale.There are a few people to thank for these trees.Firstly, the always fabulous Asha and Keir from Angus & Celeste have helped out with 75 trees. Asha and Keir donate $1.00 from their on-line sales and to date have helped plant over 700 trees. Richard Hayden from Hayden Real Estate has supported to the tune of 30 trees (and in the process he has reduced the carbon footprint of his 2 cars), Andrew Grant from Golden Nugget Discovery Tours has contributed with 15 trees and Geoffrey Lea from Tasmania has also helped with 30 trees. That leaves 15 trees. Ballarat Fire Wood Supplies have generously chipped in for those.Slainte – Colleen [/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
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.
‘Tree planting is about far more than restoring the landscape, it’s about bringing people together to care for the places we all value. Thank you for your generous support for the farmers, students, volunteers and conservation partners who are helping create healthier habitat for Tasmania’s unique wildlife while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards’.
