National Tree Day and Schools Tree Day combine to make Australia's biggest community tree-planting and nature care event. On these days Australians across the country plant and care for native trees and shrubs to improve the environment in which they live.



Since the beginning of National Tree Day in 1996, more than 3 million people have planted 21 million seedlings! That's got to be good for our country, and for us: trees are the lungs of the planet, giving us fresh clean air, storing carbon, and providing shade and habitat for wildlife.



Enjoy a morning with our Landcare volunteers and encourage biodiversity on our mountain by planting local species. Nothing could be more important for the planet or the future health and well-being of our children.

Mark these dates in your diary and watch out for further details in future Newsflashes and the local newspapers.
