Congratulations to Melissa Cole and Tristan Lambert on their wedding earlier this year. Kindly parents/in-law, Barb Hiley and Peter Lambert have gifted the newlyweds 75 trees. One for each attendee at the wedding. What a great way to begin a new life together by having a low (carbon) footprint wedding.

The 75 trees were planted at primary schools at 2 locations. Thirty trees were planted by Nadine Ogilvie and her class at Sebastopol PS, and the other 45 were planted by Vicki De Leo at St Josephs The Worker PS.

We would like to send our many thanks again for inviting us to be part of the Fifteen Trees Program. We now have 30 trees growing beautifully in our school yard. The students have really valued the knowledge gained from the tree planting as well as looking after them and seeing them grow and begin to mature.
The students have gained valuable knowledge of soil preparation, deciduous tree varieties, planning for long-term tree growth and looking after new trees.

Each year, Fifteen Trees plants native trees for every new home built by the Wodonga team. A tangible and lasting contribution to the local environment.
Chris and Sharri Longmore from G.J. Gardner Homes Shepparton are generous supporters of local community groups, and their tree planting projects. To date, Chris, Sharri and their team purchased almost 3,000 native trees for the Goulburn Valley district.
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.
