A number of individuals have helped this tree planting project at the Winjallok Bushland Reserve (Vic). Organised by Lindsay Ezard and his team from the Northern Grampians Landcare Network, 110 trees were planted at this little known bush park on a sunny, but cold day in early spring.
Huge thank you to the following people who made this project possible. Richard Finlay (30 trees), Llewellyn Wishart (10 trees), Marlie Grant (10 trees as a birthday planting for her friend Kellie) and 15 trees from Liz Breen (as a gift to her father Len Breen), Lisa Kendal (Sustainable Development Australia), the Brigidine Community in Wangaratta and Sr Margaret from Bonbeach.

It was between the two properties owned by the Fernandes and Cheesman families. Help with the planting was supplied by Bendigo TAFE Sustainable Agriculture students. Many thanks for your assistance with this project.

Thank you Lindsay and your team for finding a lovely home for our trees (110) and coordinating the day with Bendigo TAFE.

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.’
