Plant-a-Tree Conservation Program – Australia

$3.30 (USD) each

The program aims to restore the natural landscape and reconnect habitats by linking small patches of remaining vegetation to create a 200km corridor from inland to the coast.

Impact

Trees are a vital element of life. They capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere giving us clean air to breathe and helping us to tackle the climate crisis.

Our Plant-a-Tree Program has a positive impact on climate change and directly contributes to the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development.

Your purchase can have a big impact on climate change and will help to restore a globally recognised biodiversity hotspot.

What you need to know

Plant-a-Tree helps to restore an important biodiverse habitat for future generations. However, it is not a carbon offset product. You cannot claim carbon neutrality or offset greenhouse gas emissions through purchasing trees.

Our guarantee

You buy one, we plant one.

For each unit you purchase we plant an Australian native tree or shrub species on degraded farmland in the Yarra Yarra Biodiversity Corridor.

Our trees are protected for 100 years by a Covenant registered with the state government on the land title, ensuring the trees cannot be removed or compromised, even if the property is sold.

Partner with us

Are you interested in being a Carbon Neutral Partner and using our logo?

As a Partner you are entitled to a page on our Partner Directory and use of our brand assets including the Carbon Neutral Plant-a-Tree partner badge for 12 months. To use our logo we ask that you make a contribution that accurately reflects the size of your business.

As a guide, we recommend you purchase 25 trees annually for each staff member. We’ve done the maths for you in the table below:

Small businesses (< 8 staff) : 200 trees
Medium business (8-20 staff) : 400 trees
Mid-size business (21- 50 staff) : 600 trees
Large business (51+ staff) : 800 trees
Corporate : 1000 trees

You can then make additional contributions according to your sales or marketing campaign.

Why trees?

Trees and plants are vital for life on our planet. As well as enhancing air quality, trees improve the soil, water and ecological condition of an area.

Trees and carbon

Trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it back into oxygen and water through a process called photosynthesis.

Over a life-time, a Eucalypt tree can remove nearly a tonne of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere whilst on average large shrub species can remove close to 500 kg of carbon dioxide.

What do you plant?

Each year after the first rain of winter we plant mixed native species including eucalyptus, acacia, banksia and melaleuca.

In 2020, we planted over 60 different species of trees and shrubs indigenous to the region.

Habitat restoration

More than 90% of the area where we plant has been cleared for agriculture.

As well as enhancing air quality, trees improve the soil, water and ecological condition of an area.

The establishment of native plant species improves ecosystems and creates habitats for birds, insects and animals.
