As part of ACCIONA Energía's global mission to plant one million trees, we will contribute locally by planting more than 10,000 trees annually over the course of five years in Australia. The Central Otway Landcare Network plays a pivotal role in facilitating this ambitious endeavour. Last year, we planted 15,000 trees and this year our goal is to plant 20,000 trees.
Before we began planting trees, Andy and the team at the Central Otway Landcare Network shared valuable insights into the intricate ecosystem necessary for establishing a sustainable habitat for insects, birds, and other wildlife. He answered all our questions and the team was keen to organise a day to come back and see the trees we planted today.
Despite the unpredictable weather, with conditions shifting from sunshine to rain every few minutes, the team remained dedicated to achieving their tree planting goals. This year, we planted over 800 trees.
After all the hard work, everyone enjoyed morning tea snacks from Lake View Café before we headed for lunch at the Colac Botanical Gardens. We were fortunate to enjoy some sunshine while the Rotary Club of Colac West treated us to a well-deserved and delightful BBQ before heading back to Melbourne.
The Tree Planting event brought together people from our Melbourne Office and our Operations Offices at Waubra and Gunning Wind Farms, fostering collaboration for a shared cause - environmental conservation and sustainability.
A big thank you to everyone who attended for their hard work and dedication.
