Rolling Up Our Sleeves for a Greener Future: Trillion Trees Volunteer Leave Day 2025

On Friday, 15th August, eight members of our Perth team swapped laptops for Pottiputkis to take part in Trillion Trees’ annual planting day. It was a welcome change of pace. We had the chance to get our hands dirty, pick up a few mozzie bites, and contribute to something bigger than ourselves.

A Commitment to Sustainability

At Perspektiv, we talk a lot about finding a better way and creating a more sustainable world. Days like this are our opportunity to walk that talk. Through Perspektiv’s volunteer leave program, our people can step away from their desks. They can give their time and energy back to the community. For us, that meant helping restore local bushland alongside dozens of other volunteers.

The Joy of Growth

A highlight of the day was revisiting trees we had planted in previous years. We could see how they’ve grown. It’s a tangible reminder that our collective efforts, small as they may feel at the time, are having a lasting impact.

We also got to witness Simon Cherriman from The Re-cyc-ology Project install a black cockatoo nesting box. He shared how tree planting plays a crucial role in restoring the biodiversity these endangered birds need to breed. Knowing that our work contributes to the return of native wildlife makes the effort all the more rewarding.

Our Impact

• 2,880 trees planted in one day!

• One nest box installed for black cockatoos.

• Supporting 23 native species through the restoration of biodiverse ecosystems.

• Building habitat for a wide range of birds, frogs, and pollinators.

• Contributing to Perth’s urban canopy, which will play an important role in reducing local temperatures.

  
  

As the sun set over the site, it was inspiring to see the area gradually returning to the wild. We’re proud to know that in years to come, we’ll be able to bring our families (and dogs!) to this flourishing bushland and see firsthand the difference we’ve made together.

The Importance of Community Engagement

For our team, the planting day wasn’t just about trees; it was about connection, purpose, and giving back. Engaging with the community fosters a sense of belonging. It reminds us that we are part of something larger.

We believe that every small action contributes to a bigger change. By participating in events like these, we strengthen our ties to the environment and to each other.

Looking Ahead

We’ll be back next year, ready to dig in again. Each planting day is an opportunity to learn and grow. We look forward to seeing the trees we plant today flourish in the future.

In conclusion, our commitment to sustainability is not just a corporate initiative. It is a personal journey for each member of our team. Together, we can create a greener, more sustainable world.

Let’s continue to make a difference, one tree at a time.
