Grow A Forest To Celebrate Life's Milestones

Celebrate significant life milestones with a Greenfleet Milestone Forest. From weddings and birthdays, to honouring the passing of loved ones, or creating a family environmental legacy, Greenfleet helps our supporters celebrate life's special people and events with an enduring native forest tribute.

Planting a Milestone Forest supports native forest ecosystems, restoring biodiversity, and growing critical wildlife habitat.

Protected for 100 years, these forests will thrive for generations to come.

Your Forest Location

Your Milestone Forest will be planted at a site called Magpie Lane, on Waveroo Country near Beechworth in Victoria. After being grazed for many years, this property is now being restored back to native forest, extending the revegetation work landholders Karen and Dirk have been undertaking.

Forming part of the Reedy Creek Catchment northeast of Beechworth, the restoration of the property will extend remnant vegetation and support water quality. The forest will provide critical protected habitat for species including koalas, wombats, kangaroos, and many native birds.

This property forms part of the Victorian Government's Bushbank Program and we are working closely with Cassinia Environmental to deliver biodiversity restoration on behalf of our supporters.

Why Plant A Milestone Forest

Our supporters have established Milestone Forests to celebrate:

  • weddings or significant birthdays,
  • a new life, or in memory of a loved one,
  • or simply to create a legacy of positive environmental impact in their family or community. 

When you invest in a Milestone Forest, you choose how much land you would like to restore. For $2,000, you will revegetate 0.1 hectares which is equivalent to 5 tennis courts.

Each Milestone Forest is commemorated with a special certificate. Over time we will keep you updated on your forest as it grows.

Jeff & Carolyn Robinson's Sustainable Forest

When passionate sustainability advocate Jeff Robinson passed away in 2024, his family was keen to ensure his legacy lived on. Jeff’s community banded together, raising funds to plant a native biodiverse forest in his honour.

In August 2024, his family, friends, and colleagues came to celebrate Jeff by planting trees at Ledcourt, forming part of Jeff Robinson's Sustainable Forest.

Jeff’s wife Carolyn passed away in 2025, and this forest is now renamed to celebrate them both as impassioned contributors to bettering our environment for their children, friends and future generations.   

Tom Roper's Memorial Forest

The Hon. Tom Roper, former Treasurer of Victoria, was a long-standing Director of Greenfleet.

Upon Tom's passing, we planted a Milestone Forest at Ngulambarra on behalf of his wife Anita, and their family.

They visited the site in November 2024 to remember Tom and see where his forest will grow for the next century.

Baby Clancy's Forest

In 2022, parents Belinda and Emily celebrated the birth of their son by establishing a Milestone Forest in his name. Belinda said, “It is a wonderful way for our child to remember that these trees are growing alongside them.” They were kind enough to share this photo of baby Clancy, a nature lover already.

As Clancy celebrates his birthday in the following years, he will receive communications from Greenfleet commemorating the anniversary of the native forest that is growing as he does.

Previous Greenfleet Milestone Forest Locations

In previous years, Greenfleet restored Milestone Forests in Victoria at Ledcourt on Jardwadjali and Djabwurung Country and Lawan on Dja Dja Wurrung Country. Protected for 100 years, Greenfleet's expert Revegetation Team will monitor the development of these forests to ensure they thrive and support the return of wildlife to each region.

  • Ledcourt, VIC

    Jardwadjali & Djabwurung Country

    Ledcourt adjoins the Grampians National Park and Mount William Creek, which is home to platypus, kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, emus and many other native wildlife species.

    Koala populations can occur in the Grampians, however, there have been none near Ledcourt for many years due to land clearing, causing the reduction in their habitat and food trees. Greenfleet's restoration of the cleared areas with native species preferred by these iconic animals and strengthen the existing ecosystems.

  • Lawan, VIC

    Dja Dja Wurrung Country

    Lawan is an important part of the Wychitella Biolink, this forest is home to native wildlife species, such as the endangered malleefowl.

    Site visits in 2024 showed that the forests growing at Lawan are establishing well. Although the planting of this project has concluded, the forest is protected for 100 years, with ongoing monitoring to ensure its continued successful growth.
