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.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]Landcare members.Hi Colleen, Your trees were part of a replenishment planting in a wildlife corridor between the Sandy Creek and Avon River. 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.

‘Converge have partnered with Fifteen Trees as part of its commitment to environmental sustainability. By planting a tree for every new employee, Converge is helping to restore native habitats, improve biodiversity, capture carbon emissions, and support healthy ecosystems’.

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’.
