National Tree Day is Australia’s biggest community tree-planting event. Since Tree Day started in 1996 more than 1.5 million volunteers have planted over 11.5 million native trees and shrubs!

Plant a tree this year on National Tree Day – Sunday, 27 July 2008 and Schools Tree Day – Friday, 25 July 2008 (plus a range of additional dates) to help make the event even more successful and help save and enhance our environment.

National Tree Day gives all Australians an opportunity to get involved with their local environment at a community level. Whether you’re an individual, school, community group, sports club, church, family, group of friends or a business of any size there is a way that you can participate by coordinating a site, volunteering to plant or offer your support in other ways.

The benefits of getting involved with National Tree Day extend well beyond the personal satisfaction of knowing that you’re supporting a good cause. You’ll be helping your local schools and community, promoting biodiversity, offsetting carbon emissions, beautifying natural spaces, and having a great time!
