Sunday 29 July is National Tree Day, a day to do something positive for your local environment and community and to reconnect with nature!
National Tree Day started in 1996 and since then more than 3.8 million Australians have planted 22.3 million trees and plants and it’s still growing.
Be part of the country’s largest community tree planting and nature-care event. Join thousands of community groups, sport clubs, faith groups and families, in making a difference to your community, fostering a love of nature and creating positive environmental change.
We’re hosting events in Emerald, Blackwater, Capella, Rolleston, Springsure and Tieri – get all the details below. Please note only the Emerald, Blackwater and Capella events will be held on Sunday 29 July.
Come along and bring a hat. We’ll supply the gloves, tools, refreshments and (most importantly) trees!
