It’s National Tree Day on Sunday 27 July 2025 and many local councils and organisations have organised tree planting projects.
It’s a great opportunity for residents to connect with nature, give back to your local community, do something for your local environment and experience the many benefits of spending time outdoors.
Since 1996, over 26 million trees have been planted by Australian volunteers as part of the program and the plan is to get another million trees in the ground this year.
By planting trees, you can help cool the climate, provide homes for native wildlife, and make your community a better place to live.
Schools Tree Day (July 25) and National Tree Day (July 27) are Australia’s largest annual tree-planting and nature care events, with plantings taking place across the country on the last weekend of July.
National Tree Day is an initiative organised by Planet Ark in partnership with major sponsor Toyota Australia and its Dealer Network. For more information and to find events in your local area, please visit treeday.planetark.org.
Each year, there are a number of local events happening for National Tree Day in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie & Hunter which are suitable for families to participate in tree planting.
