Tree planting at Maldon. — 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.

Hotels for Trees. VIC

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.

Collective Action. Individuals for the Planet.

March 26, 2026

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.
