Looks like they could strike gold at any moment.

 

Noel Muller from Maldon Urban Landcare writes, ‘Hi Colleen, ten members of Maldon Urban Landcare Group, Maldon Museum and the Maldon Men’s shed, recently held a planting day in Maldon. The plantings are part of a screening project for the Maldon Museum and the Men’s Shed. The day  was very successful with the group enjoying the preparing and planting of the trees’.

Huge thank you to Peter and Patsy for enabling these tree to be planted in what looks like a beautiful region of Victoria.

‘We’re thrilled to team up with Fifteen Trees in this crucial effort. Koalas are an iconic Australian species, and with increasing threats to their natural environment, it’s never been more important to ensure they have access to suitable habitats.Planting these trees is just the beginning of a broader initiative to safeguard their future’.

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.
