So, you have come to this page to see what I am about! That’s cool. Because I would do the exact same thing.
Fifteen Trees is playing a small part in the global green movement. Established in 2009, the company is a small affair with one woman at the helm and a host of native nurseries and community groups behind her.
Through your support, Fifteen Trees distributes trees to community groups and landholders for planting. These groups have been looking after our native heritage for generations.
Fifteen Trees can plant trees to help reduce the carbon footprint of your – car, flight, or conference . Trees can be planted as a gift or as a thank you.

A good tree planting company (such as Fifteen Trees) will ensure:
- Permanency. Your trees will be well planted and protected. They are planted for the long term (100 years).
- Additional Planting. Your trees are planted in addition to what was going to be planted.
- Transparency. This will be achieved via the website where you will be able to view your trees and read some of the stories behind the groups who have planted your trees.
- Credibility. Those who plant your trees are connected with established community groups such as schools and universities, Landcare groups or environmental groups.
