Greenfleet is fully funded by individuals and organisations looking to take authentic climate action, restore nature, and grow native forests that will be here for decades to come. In particular, the partnerships we have with our corporate supporters are vital to our work and the positive environmental impact we can make. 

Each year, our native tree planting events are an opportunity for our corporate supporters to see first-hand the work they are enabling through their partnerships with Greenfleet. While planting native trees is just one step in our approach to native reforestation, these events build connection and demonstrate the scale of the positive environmental impact we are making together.

This year, we had over 300 supporters join us at events in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Victoria. By planting thousands of native trees, they’ve played a pivotal part in our 2025 revegetation season.  

Watch some highlights from one of our Victorian planting events here:  

Victorian Planting Event 2025

Delivering Climate Action

Each planting day contributes to the significant climate action Greenfleet is delivering with the help of our supporters. Since 1997, Greenfleet has planted over 11.2 million trees to create 550 forests in Australia and New Zealand which will remove 5 million tonnes of carbon over their lifetime. 

The regions we choose to restore have their own unique environmental values worth protecting. While sequestering carbon, Greenfleet’s native revegetation projects also provide wildlife habitat and improve water and soil quality. 

Our native tree planting events provide an insight into the expert revegetation knowledge that Greenfleet brings to our ecosystem restoration work. Our supporters learn about the species they’re planting, why they’ve been chosen, and the wildlife that the project will support. 

Here are some of the forests our supporters helped restore at our 2025 planting events

  • Hiddenvale, Qld

    We welcomed supporters to our Hiddenvale forest on Yuggera Country, just over an hour’s drive southwest of Brisbane. This project will provide vital habitat for endangered koala populations and other wildlife. The teams planted around 1,000 native trees, including the critically endangered swamp paperbark (Melaleuca irbyana) to support local birdlife.

    “I absolutely love being included in these projects and it feels wonderful to be giving back”- Monique Cahill, GRACE.

  • Lucas Heights Conservation Area, NSW

    The forest being restored at Lucas Heights is the endangered Ecological Community of Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest. Over three days the teams planted almost 3,000 seedlings to assist in the restoration process. Some of the species planted included Sydney green wattle (Acacia decurrens), grey gum (Eucalyptus punctata), and the endangered turpentine (Syncarpia glomulifera). This project is in partnership with Sutherland Shire Council, who we have worked with for many years. 

    “I found it incredibly fulfilling to be able to see the difference I was making and visualise what the forest would become for the local ecosystem”- Catherine Sexton, Vestone Capital.

  • Bull Creek, SA

    Greenfleet returned to our Bull Creek project on Ngarrindjeri Country to bolster additional species on the hilltop of the property. From this vantage point, supporters could see nearby Cox Scrub Conservation Area, which this project will extend habitat for the resident wildlife. The project includes planting species for pygmy possums and many native birds, some which are rare and endangered.  

    The team was Welcomed to Country by local Ngarrindjeri elder Mark Koolmatrie, which was a first-time experience for some attendees. Mark has returned to this project many years in a row, reflecting deeply on the change the restoration is making year on year.

  • Strzelecki Nature Link, Vic

    Supporters joined us at Greenfleet’s Strzelecki Nature Link over three days to help restore a native forest on Boonwurrung Country.Teams planted silver wattle (Acacia dealbata) and the endangered Strzelecki gum (Eucalyptus strzeleckii), alongside manna gum seedlings (Eucalyptus viminalis) to provide critical habitat for local Strzelecki koala populations. 

    “It was such a great experience, especially Willie's explanation and great detail, probably the best Welcome to Country I have heard. It was such a beautiful spot to be able to go to and plant trees for the future. I felt very privileged to experience the day”- Amy Clarkson, McCormack.

Connecting To Country

Willie Pepper, a proud Gurnai Kurnai man and representative of the Boonwurrung Land and Sea Council Welcomed our team and supporters onto Country at our Victorian planting events this year.

Greenfleet has a long-standing partnership with Willie and the Boonwurrung Land and Sea Council, including the consultation with them on the naming of the first part of the project, Wurneet Laang Laang. 

Long-lasting Benefits

Each planting day is returning biodiversity to the region and contributes to Greenfleet’s ongoing impact across our 550+ forests in Australia and New Zealand. For over 25 years, we have planted more than 11.2 million trees which will remove 5 million tonnes of carbon over their lifetime. 

Planting trees is just one step in Greenfleet’s approach to native ecosystem restoration. When we restore a native forest, we legally protect it for up to 100 years with a legal on title agreement. Read more here. 

We have strict monitoring and verification processes in place to ensure each forest can establish successfully. As biodiversity returns, we can also do assessments to understand the species that are returning and calling the forests home. 

“What Greenfleet does well is sharing enthusiasm and energy for sustainability and showcasing how small collective efforts can create exponential change. It was great to connect with other like-minded people” -Liz Reams, William Buck.
