Restoring Nature Through Native Forests
Vets for Climate Action has partnered with Greenfleet to grow legally protected, native Australian forests that restore wildlife habitat and remove carbon from the atmosphere. Every tree we plant on behalf of our members is matched by Greenfleet to double our impact!
Greenfleet is a leading not-for-profit environmental organisation that has planted over 11.2 million native trees across 550+ forests in Australia and New Zealand since 1997. These legally protected forests absorb carbon, improve soil and water quality, and restore habitat for native wildlife, including endangered species.
Our Tree Planting Projects
Ledcourt Forest, Central Victoria
Our initial trees were planted at Ledcourt, growing on Jardwadjali and Djabwurung Country adjacent to the Grampians National Park. Species planted include Australian blackwood, sweet bursaria, prickly tea-tree, and yellow box. The prickly tea-tree provides refuge for small birds, with flowers offering nectar for birds, insects and butterflies.
This forest extends habitat for kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and emus by creating wildlife corridors to the nearby national park. While the planting phase has now completed, the forest remains legally protected for 100 years, with ongoing monitoring ensuring long-term restoration outcomes.
Strzelecki Nature Link, South Gippsland
From October 2025, future trees planted by Vets for Climate Action members support the Strzelecki Nature Link. Growing on Boonwurrung Country in South Gippsland, Victoria, this project is establishing over 3km of legally protected koala habitat. Member contributions help create dense pockets of native vegetation that strengthen biodiversity across the landscape.
