“Hi Colleen,Thanks for your emails, your blog site looks great. Thank you to the businesses of Ballarat who have made it possible for us to receive our 60 trees. They are doing well and I’m sure the recent rain will help them to do even better.” G & G. ZThe trees planted on the Zoutendijk Property at Durham Lead were kindly paid for by King’s Cars. The grandchildren have got involved and helped to plant 60 native seedlings last month. During August and September Peter King carbon offset 4 of his vehicles – 2 Citroen’s and 2 Mitsubishi’s (to new car owners Plamer and Hoare). This has allowed the 4 X 15 trees to be planted and over their lifetime they will collectively absorb ~ 16,000 kg of carbon dioxide. Once again Garibaldi Community volunteers know how to correctly plant, all new trees have tree guards and mulch.Kind Regards – ColleenRECENT TREE PLANTINGS

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’.
