Geoff Lea from Walking Track Services Tasmania, not only has many years experience walking Australian tracks in National Parks, he has also had a hand in constructing many kilometers of the tracks themselves. This year, Geoff asked me to plant 60 trees on his behalf. The trees went to Matt Pitt (acting CEO of Landcare Tasmania) and his team at Conservation Volunteers.

Matt explains the project …
‘This project was about re-vegetating areas along the Tyenna River. This riparian rehabilitation of previously grazed lands adjoining the National Park aims to increase biodiversity. Conservation Volunteers had various people engaged throughout this project including; local job seekers, retirees and university students as well as international volunteers. Everyone involved was thrilled to be helping revegetate and protect such a spectacular and diverse National Park’.
Thank you Geoff for your ongoing support of tree planting in Tasmania. I’m sure you know the Tyenna River district well and have walked many of its tracks. Please keep an eye out for your trees.

‘We understand the profound impact technology can have on the environment, and we are committed to mitigating that footprint. Supporting community tree planting projects across Australia is one way we actively contribute to this goal, helping to restore ecosystems, improve air quality, and support biodiversity’. Nick Touzeau | COO | Wavelink
‘The environmental benefits were a key driver in our community initiatives, we were also excited about the opportunity to implement a dedicated program that would allow us to support causes close to our hearts. By partnering with a variety of organisations it also allows us to react to immediate need in the community’. Fast Times
WPA acknowledges that when it comes to environmental initiatives, its people are its strength. It has recently partnered with us to plant a selection of native trees for each hard-working staff member identified as a Sustainability Warrior.
