Sunday 28 July is National Tree Day

Sunday 28 July 2019 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, Rubyvale, Rolleston, Springsure and Tieri  – get all the details below. Please note second Tieri planting and Springsure & Rolleston community day are on alternate dates.
