Success Stories

This year, two new tree friends were welcomed to the Bellview Grange Food Forest,

Francois heard that Mother Earth Day will be celebrated on the 22nd of April. In celebration of this day, he decided to plant with his family.

The planting in this story is an addition to the ongoing Trees For Schools project at Daylesford Dharma School.

By instilling environmental awareness and responsibility in young minds, we’re nurturing a generation of eco-conscious leaders who will shape a sustainable future!

This week’s Success Story comes from Haiti.

Charles Brunel, the CEO and founder of Agrinotech, Agricultural New Technology, tells us about the incredible work they have done to support their environment and their community.

It was a great, wholesome, additional activity to the retreat, with a well needed focus on our environment and the future for the planet and those that live on it.

On the 12th of December, Mark, Jill, and their supervisor, Barry the Aussie Terrier, made an additional 29 plantings!

“I have been a tree planter since a very early child. I remember planting an apricot seed picked up from under where my grandfather’s sulphur-crested cockatoo lived, under a grand old apricot tree…”

This success story is a throwback to November 2019, exactly six years ago, when it all started for the Global Tree Initiative!

Together with our founder and his son, Manuela planted a total of 19 trees.

This planting aims to re-establish the natural ecology of the plants and, then hopefully, the animals, birds, and insects that have been lost over many decades.

The reforestation project is one of the aspects of our commitment, in restoring our connection with nature, fixing the environmental degeneration, and the relationship we have with elemental force.

I know my friend has been involved with the GTI (Global Tree Initiative) for a long time, so last year he asked me to plant a tree

This tree planting is not just an activity, but a symbol of our commitment to both environmental sustainability and social development.

Members of Bodhicitta Centre for Mindful Awareness, in Chandigarh India, under the guidance of its Founder, Mrs. Kamal Singh Malhi, and other members, organised a tree planting of approximately 4000 tree saplings.

Our loyal and dedicated community member (and ex-Australian regional coordinator), Mark Allaway, tells us about his latest planting activity.

Frank explains, Green land Group, we are an involved community with different ways through education to understand how the seedlings are being produced and how they are taken into plantation.
