Our Grass trees on The Block 2020

Thu, 29 Oct 2020

From approved land clearing((new road) on the Southwestern tip of Western Australia , extracted & transport 100km to our Busselton HQ, nurtured for 18 months, transported 3000km across the Nullarbor and now to its new home on The Block (Melbourne, Victoria) for many centuries to come....😀💚👍🏻

Don't miss out! tonight on Channel 9 The Block' , 7.30pm. Many thanks to Dave Franklin and his team🍻

Ancient Trees Australia/ Margaretriver Grasstrees is a resolute company that rescues ancient and protected trees from approved land clearings, in various locations in our wonderful world. Example, a new housing estate or road has been approved by relevant government departments and from there we do our absolute best to get wind of the such clearings and to beat the bulldozers! From such salvage locations, we manoeuvre and wrestle (sometimes inch by inch for hundred/ thousands of km😅) these GREAT Grandaddies Of The Bush or Monsters From The Desert back to our various HQ's or temp holding yards....The more remote locations or challenging logistics, the more I get excited, not sure about my team😬.. After 12 to 18 months of daily nurturing, we look to find new homes where they'll flourish, take the centre stage in all landscapes and brings joy for generations to come.. Although we are based in Australia, we are now embracing globalisation. Your support in our aspirations and achievements is much appreciated!
