Chris Cobern and the hard working folks at Upper Goulburn have just planted 300 of our trees with the help of employees from NAB Melbourne. The trees went to a farm in the Kinglake District of North/Central Victoria.

The Upper Goulburn Landcare Network recently held a planting day on a farm near Kinglake.
With the help of corporate volunteers from NAB and members of the Kinglake Landcare Group, we planted 300 trees kindly provided by Fifteen Trees and their supporters.
The plants will help revegetate this fire ravaged property. As well as providing wind protection for stock and habitat for native wildlife they will also help protect against erosion on the steep hill side. The farm managers Duncan and Cindy very much appreciated the volunteer assistance and provided home made soup and a bbq lunch for everyone.

We have a handful of organisations and small companies, who purchase trees when they can. These people are masters of ingenuity when it comes to incorporating tree planting into their business practices.
The Kogi people of Northern Columbia have been sending the same message to the West for years. It’s a familiar refrain here at Fifteen Trees, and one we wholeheartedly endorse: ‘Unless we stop violating the Earth and nature, depleting the Great Mother of her material energy, her organs, her vitality; unless people stop working against the Great Mother, the world will not last.’
