The school Junior Landcare Group were aiming to plant over 650 plants (trees and grasses) on their school reserve. They wanted to attract wildlife and to help protect the vulnerable Growling Grass Frog, which lives in their wetland reserve.

The 200 trees planted on the day were very generously paid for by G.J. Gardner Homes Ballarat.
Rob McMaster from the Sturt St office has now helped plant 680 trees across 3 locations – Ross Creek and also Buninyong and St Francis Xavier Primary School.
A huge thank you to Rob and his team.

Since 2019, Argon & Co have been supporting our community tree planting projects and the numbers tell their own story. Eleven thousand (11,000) native trees and counting, with 375 new trees planted every quarter, season after season, without fail.
A simple idea with a surprisingly powerful impact. One tree planted for every invoice generated. Empire Project Management sends a lot of invoices and every single one now puts a tree in the ground, contributing to community tree planting projects that restore native habitat, support local landcare groups and help reduce the carbon footprint of a busy, growing business.
What was once a heavily degraded site, scarred by gold mining and decades of neglect, is now a thriving pocket of native bushland coming back to life thanks to supporters such as Pascoe Vale Rotary Club.
