Calling all nature lovers and bird enthusiasts, let’s come together to make a real difference for our feathered friends, the Tawny Frogmouths! 


With your generous support, we're on a mission to plant 600 Stringybark trees across two vital revegetation projects in Victoria and Tasmania. Picture this: lush landscapes adorned with native trees, standing tall and proud, beckoning the Tawny Frogmouths with their thick, fibrous bark. But this isn't just about planting trees. It's about creating homes, sanctuaries, and thriving ecosystems where these stately birds can flourish. 


Together, we'll provide shelter, food, and protection for the Tawny Frogmouths, ensuring their survival for generations to come.






Established in 2009, Fifteen Trees is a social enterprise nestled in the tranquil Central Highlands of Victoria. Unlike conventional businesses, we're on a mission to create positive social change while nurturing communities and protecting the environment. Every donation counts towards securing the future of our beloved Tawny Frogmouths. Let's make the world a brighter, greener place—one tree at a time. For more insights into these captivating creatures, fly over to our latest blog post: "The Year of the Tawnies." 


With a background deeply rooted in education, science, and sustainability, we've spent the past 15 years collaborating with native plant nurseries and community planting groups such as Friends Groups and Landcare. Together, we've had the privilege of planting over 380,000 trees across all corners of Australia. Our approach may be humble, but our impact speaks volumes. Join us in our endeavor to cultivate a greener, more sustainable future, one tree at a time. With Fifteen Trees, every contribution adds to the collective effort of nurturing our planet.

Budget Overview

At a price of $10.00/tree we are looking at raising $6,000.00 to purchase 600 eucalyptus seedlings. The trees will be planted this winter/spring at 2 sites (Central Victoria and Southern Tasmania). Should we raise more than the target the extra money collected will go towards providing more trees and tree guards for this special project. 


If you require an invoice or receipt for taxation purposes, please contact us at <[email protected]> and we will email one to you.
