JEI STUDIO proudly partners with Fifteen Trees, a local social enterprise, whose primary aim is to help businesses reduce their carbon footprint through supporting Australian community tree-planting projects.
We believe that supporting community tree-planting initiatives is not only an investment in nature; it's a commitment to a sustainable future. Trees are the silent architects of a healthier planet, providing clean air, a habitat for diverse ecosystems, and a source of inspiration. By fostering community tree planting, we cultivate a legacy of ecological responsibility, ensuring that the beauty and benefits of trees endure for generations to come.
Since 2009, Fifteen Trees has assisted hundreds of community groups in planting over 350,000 native trees across Australia. The community groups that plant the trees possess local knowledge and expertise. They plant native trees indigenous to the area and do so at the right time of the year, usually during the winter months. This, in turn, ensures a high success rate for the trees. All trees are planted with tree guards to protect them from harsh environmental conditions and grazing animals.
Planting indigenous trees encourages native wildlife to establish itself within the plantation, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem. In the interests of biodiversity, Fifteen Trees also provides native shrubs and grasses to the community groups. Local independent plant nurseries supply the trees, often propagating the plants using locally collected indigenous seeds.
In addition to direct financial contributions, JEI STUDIO is committed to ongoing donations of 15 planted trees for every project.
