Plant-based, gluten- free organic chocolate producer Pana Organic will be walking the walk on July 28 when it aims to plant up to 2,000 new trees on the Mornington Peninsula.
It will be part of its annual tree-planting initiative, building on the existing Pana Organic forest.
Aligned with National Tree Day, Pana Organic will be planting native plants without pesticides to ensure they are helping build habitats for native wildlife in Hastings/Somers.
Pana Organic says it wants the event to bring community together and work together for the greater good of our planet.
The founder of Pana Organic, Pana Barbounis, says events like this are important to him and the entire Pana Organic brand.
Pana Organic has teamed up with Fifteen Trees and the Somers/Hastings Koala Habitat Project for the initiative.
Coordinated by the Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation (MPKC), the project sees partners plant trees in existing koala corridors, thereby encouraging koalas out of urban areas and away from the many threats they face.
‘To achieve our goals, we need funding to purchase trees for the wildlife corridors. All money received goes directly towards bringing our project and goals to life," Dirk Jansen, co-ordinator at The Mornington Peninsula Koala Conservation said.
“Thank you to Pana Organics and Fifteen Trees for your assistance in purchasing trees on our behalf and, indeed, for coming out to plant too.”
The revegetation project is also backed by Mornington Peninsula Shire, Parks Victoria and the Department of Defence.
