Tree Planting

Whipstick Vic.

Dear Colleen, On Sunday 10th August, the Northern Bendigo Landcare Group collaborated with 1st Eaglehawk Cubs and Scouts for a National Tree Day event, planting 165 trees thanks to the generosity of Viatek Central Victoria. The indigenous species were planted along a road reserve as part of the Landcare group’s Whirrakee Wattle Biolink: Whipstick to Wellsford project. This project aims to improve connectivity by using the Bendigo Creek Streamside Reserve, old road reserves and private property to link the Whipstick Nature ConservationReserve with the Wellsford Forest – both very important tracts of remnant native forest. This will not only provide a corridor for biodiversity but will positively impact on river health. Nicole Howie/Secretary/Northern Bendigo Landcare Group.

A huge thank you to Peter Bull from Viatek Central Victoria for supplying the funds to enable the Northern Bendigo Landcare Group to purchase 165 native trees for the Whipstick district. These 165 trees will help reduce the carbon footprint of Peter’s fleet of 11 cars (15 trees/car). Viatek take sustainability seriously and have devoted space on their website to encourage other companies to make the necessary changes to reduce their carbon footprint. Viatek only work with environmentally responsible partners. Nice one Peter and Viatek. Slainte – Colleen[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]

A Subscription for the Planet. Winter Update.

June 10, 2026

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.

Hotels for Trees. VIC

May 17, 2026

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.

April 29, 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.
