Fifteen Trees - Sustainability & Eco Responsible Business Practice

For the past five years Bombora Custom Furniture have incorporated a ‘one piece – one tree’ policy as part of our business practice. For every piece of furniture created, Fifteen Trees will plant one tree. These plantings help to reduce the environmental impact of freight and general equipment maintenance associated with running a business. Bombora owners Luke & Alison Collins take sustainablity and being eco-responsible very seriously and are constantly reviewing their business practices to ensure that Bombora products positively impact the environment.

Bombora’s trees have been planted at a property near Wangoon, Warrnambool. The site is an ex-pine plantation, and the revegetation project is designed to alleviate the harm a monoculture tree crop can do to the soil, and to the surrounding biodiversity in general. Hopkins Falls Landcare Group hopes the planting, which contains many Manna Gums, will help build resilience in local fauna. According to Fifteen Trees ‘Diverse tree and shrub corridor plantings may also enable a wide range of species to broaden their horizons, giving them some protection against food scarcity and disease, habitat threats like fire or flood, and allow new family groups to emerge and thrive’.
