Sowing the seeds for a sustainable future since 1989.

The Leaflet | December 2023

Another year has flown by and as we reflect on the last year of growth on TreeProject we want to congratulate all of you who helped make this year another success! Once again, we have ended the year on a high with our November distribution - 237 growers who have picked up their kits. 

Now that the year is (almost) over, we are looking forward to celebrating the silly season, but firstly we want to thank all of our contributors and take a look at what has been happening behind the scenes. This month's features:

• A Message from our President
• Launch of the new Portal
• Call for more growers - please ask your friends!
• Confessions of a First Time Grower
• TreeProject and Melbourne Water - watch the video
• Shoutout to Raw Travel

A Message from Stephanie, our President

Happy Holidays Wonderful TreeProjectors!

Thank you for all your support this year - we have yet again made leaps and bounds in our revegetation efforts and we couldn't do it without our support network. Some of you read our newsletter and tell your friends. Others show up year after year to tube-washing days. Some of you have been supporting us for 30 years - growing, coordinating, showing up on depot days. No matter your contribution, it all matters and it all makes our organisation great.

While we have had some incredible successes this year, we are in need of donations. If you are looking for a last-minute gift, you know a business that wants to create a sustainability policy, or you have a few dollars to spare, please send them our way. We are serious about making a difference to our environment and the only way we can grow our impact is by growing our donations. Every dollar is invested into the restoration of our beautiful earth.

Launch of the new Grower Portal!

In our last newsletter, we announced the launch of our new Grower Portal, and we are so pleased that it has been a smashing success. We had 95% of our growers register on the portal with no difficulty.

We want to thank all the people who got the portal up and running with special thanks to the Portal Team - especially John and Mija!

However, to keep the portal up and running, we are seeking Portal donors to help with the maintenance costs. Click here to donate and mention 'Portal' in the donation notes.
