John McRae has a distinguished career in Information Technology.  He is also the Secretary of TreeProject.

'TreeProject gets urban and rural communities working together to put trees back on the land. Their network of trained volunteers grows indigenous seedlings for rural landholders and Landcare groups who need our help with revegetation.

For landholders, being able to access seedlings from TreeProject is often all the incentive and encouragement they need to start restoring degraded areas. Working together, they are restoring urgently needed indigenous vegetation and repairing Victoria’s damaged ecosystems. 

In some 30 years, they have provided very low cost trees for land management in Victoria'.
