Trees planted for Russell Brothers.
TREES PLANTED
Geoff Russell from Russell Brothers Funeral Directors has generously supported the planting of 50 native trees near his coastal home of Mentone. These trees have been planted as a community kindness on behalf of the families who have lost loved ones this year.
Due to Geoff’s support, Johan De Bree from the Frankston Beach Association was able to plant an extra 50 trees when his group of volunteers worked at the reserve last month.

Johan planted a local species of Banksia on the foreshore just north of the Frankston Sailing Club. These trees are ideal for coastal environments as they can withstand the salt air and poor soils. Their flowers and seeds will be a food source for local wildlife such as bees, birds and mammals.

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’.
