Last Friday, 17 March 2023, volunteers from Grace, consisting of Monique Cahill, James Cutts, Scott Bartram, Brett Deaves, and Cheryl Yim, had the opportunity to participate in Greenfleet’s 2023 Queensland planting event. Located in Grandchester, 80 km from the Brisbane CBD, the event was a fantastic opportunity for the team to learn about the planting project, witness a tree planting demonstration, and contribute to revegetating the site.
Despite the scorching heat of 36C, the team dug and planted over three large trays of native saplings, making a significant contribution to the event’s success. The tree planting offset emissions is a practical way to counteract emissions we can’t reduce or avoid. By partnering with Greenfleet, Grace helps mitigate the impacts of climate change while supporting native biodiverse forest projects.
Greenfleet has been planting native biodiverse forests to capture carbon emissions and fight the impacts of climate change for 25 years. Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted over 10 million trees in Australia and New Zealand, creating more than 500 native forests. Greenfleet forests are legally protected for up to 100 years, conserving biodiversity and restoring habitat for wildlife.
Grace has partnered with Greenfleet to tackle climate change after the devastating 2019-2020 Australian bushfires. Greenfleet is dedicated to protecting the climate by reforesting and restoring forests, addressing deforestation, reducing soil erosion, improving water quality, and restoring habitats for local wildlife, including endangered species.
Grace will continue working with Greenfleet to reduce our fleet’s environmental impact and protect Australia’s unique wildlife and native forests.
