We’re so thrilled to say that for every Fern & Gum gift hamper you send, you will now also be planting a tree in the Otways, so that the beautiful environment we work and play in can be kept safe, and flourish for generations ahead.
A tree planted anywhere on earth is fantastic, but in order to ensure we’re investing in our backyard we’ve teamed up with Southern Otway Landcare Network (SOLN) based in Apollo Bay, who will cultivate the seedlings, and manage the plantings as the vegetation grows across the Otway region.
SOLN is an umbrella organisation that unifies five Landcare groups extending from Wye River in the east to Johanna in the west. They are transparently and efficiently governed by a volunteer Committee of Management who provide strategic and operational direction to our team of skilled, professional staff, supported by the Department of Environment, Land, Water, and Planning.
$3 from each hamper sold within 6 month period will be transferred bi-annually to SOLN and we look forward to being there to join in the plantings at these times and sharing the re-vegetation projects as they happen!
