Over 4,500 native trees were direct seeded in 2007 (with further replant in 2009 and 2010) on this 5.6 ha site located northwest of Dunkeld, in the southern Grampians of Western Victoria.
The site was revegetated to protect sheep from the elements as well as re-introducing biodiversity to vast grazing tracts and assisting with rehabilitating eroding creeklines.

Photos of the beautiful native forest near Merton, Vic, taken by Eoghan, our Forester.
Greenfleet planted over 8,000 trees on this farm in 2009... this is what it looked like in July 2014!
Native birds chirping away, trees like this Candlebark up to 10-metre high, majestic Wedge-tailed Eagles hovering over, wattles blooming... I know where I'd rather be today!
I like messy people; people who don’t fit in a box or stay between the lines, but whose integrity is greater than any rule book and whose loyalty is stronger than blood.

A run-down parcel of land on the side of the Strzelecki Ranges has been transformed by a visionary landowner and Greenfleet.
Adam and Debbie Tyson’s property in southern Victoria was once covered with a mosaic of rainforest, including 90-metre tall Mountain Ash trees. As the agriculturalists and loggers moved into the region in the late 19th century, the land was cleared and less than a fifth of the original forest remains standing today.
“When I bought the land, it was overgrazed and run down with erosion and weeds. It had very little remanent vegetation left,” Adam explains.
The sparsely-forested property’s steep slopes and frequent heavy rainfall also made it prone to devastating landslides.
Since 2011, the Tysons and Greenfleet have planted approximately 14,880 native trees.
“We’ve seen many improvements over that time. The trees are thriving and there is a noticeable increase in birdlife,” Adam says.
“The trees are certainly helping with the erosion – and we haven’t had a landslide for a couple of seasons now.”

Dr Ruth Westheimer sex therapist media personality author lunches with Phoenix Arizona matchmaker Roseann Higgins at Seaport Cafe Rockefeller Plaza New York City thanks to the Grammy Award nominee's generous auction donation to The Actors Fund. We visited and had a delicious lunch, just us, in their private dining room. She autographed her book Sex for Dummies and her All in a Lifetime autobiography. She had just been nominated for a Grammy Award for reading a children's book. During the lunch she reached out to Elton John for advice. She graciously apologized for having to take the call. Thank you for the rare treat, Dr Ruth!
