What to bring

Each site will tell you what you need to bring and where to meet, but as a general rule wear covered shoes, take along a hat, sunscreen and water in a reusable bottle.

What will I be doing

National Tree Day can include a whole range of different activities including planting trees and native plants & bushes, caring for trees and plants by removing weeds, information sessions, bushwalks and more. Most of all it is lots of fun! Each site will detail what is happening at their National Tree Day site.

“It gives a sense of satisfaction to be able to look back in future years and think I have helped the community….by planting that tree. The tree is a living reminder”
