TreeProject

TreeProject is a non-profit, volunteer-based organisation leading the way in sustainable re-vegetation throughout Victoria. Since 1989, TreeProject has facilitated the sowing of almost 2 million trees into the Victorian Landscape through volunteer and community-based initiatives. This year TreeProject has sown 141,000 indigenous seedlings and will plant them across Victoria. TreeProject gets urban and rural communities working together to put native trees back on the land. Our network of trained volunteers propagate and care for seedlings of indigenous trees, shrubs and grasses in their own backyards for rural landholders and landcare groups who need our help with revegetation. What we do Train volunteers to propagate indigenous trees, shrubs and grasses Support landholders to repair degraded land by providing at-cost indigenous plants Link city and country people to work together to tackle erosion, improve soil and water quality, and restore ecosystems Provide training and support for anyone in the community growing indigenous seedlings Develop skills and knowledge – building capacity in the community – for propagating Indigenous seedlings Foster community engagement through practical, achievable and enduring environmental projects Provide special project support through The TreeProject Nursery Raise awareness of the importance of revegetation
