‘One generation plants the Trees; another gets the shade’. Chinese proverb
David Reid from WA contacted me with a request for Fifteen Trees to plant 120 trees on his behalf to reduce his company’s carbon footprint. The company David Reid Painting Contractors are in Perth and David wanted one tree planted for each house that he painted. As a result, landowners at Woodvale (central Victoria) were able to plant 120 trees this month. The trees went to 2 adjoining properties and a native corridor was established.

We had planted trees from Neangar nursery in the last couple of years and the new ones were used for in-fill for those lost . We really appreciate the efforts Fifteen Trees are making.Thanks once again, Lyn Talbot and Kaye Darcy
Fifteen Trees can help any individual or company to reduce their carbon footprint by organising trees to be distributed to Landcare and landowners. David Reid has taken the initiative to give back to the community and help supply rural Australia with trees.
Thank you David and I hope your customers are impressed by your green policies.
Cheers – Colleen
The number of trees planted with the assistance of Fifteen Tree supporters – 4005[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
According to Sustainability Victoria, the average Australian lifestyle produces 15,000kg of carbon per year. If that sounds like a lot, it is! Over its lifetime, a tree can collect and store 268kg. This means, we each need to plant 58 trees per year to bring our individual carbon production down to zero. A little tricky for most of us to do in our own backyards, and this is where ‘A Subscription for the Planet’ comes in.
For hotels, embracing sustainability can strengthen brand loyalty, enhance their reputation, and help differentiate them in a competitive market. In this way, sustainable initiatives are not just good for the planet – they also make strong business sense, creating a win-win for hotels, their guests, and the communities and ecosystems they support.
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.
