National Tree Day
Since its inception in 1996, Planet Ark’s National Tree Day has grown into Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature care event. More than just a day, it’s a nationwide movement that inspires Australians to get their hands dirty, connect with nature, and make a positive difference in their local communities.
Over the past three decades, volunteers have contributed more than 10 million hours to planting trees, restoring habitat, and taking part in environmental activities that foster a deeper understanding of the natural world.
While National Tree Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of July each year, events can be held whenever best suits your local climate and schedule. After all, every day is Tree Day.
Schools Tree Day
Every year, hundreds of schools across Australia take part in Schools Tree Day, inspiring students to connect with nature through hands-on environmental activities. From planting native gardens and creating wildlife habitat to nature play, outdoor learning, and sustainability projects, there are countless ways to get involved.
Since 1996, more than 720,000 Schools Tree Day events have helped students learn about and care for the natural world around them. While Schools Tree Day is celebrated on the last Friday of July, activities can take place whenever best suits your climate, curriculum, and school calendar. After all, every day is Tree Day.
