Landcare Australia is contacting all 4,000 landcare and other groups to ask you to get involved in Planet Ark’s National Tree Day on Sunday July 27.

National Tree Day is now Australia’s biggest community tree planting day. Over the past thirteen years, 1.8 million volunteers have helped Landcare and Planet Ark to plant almost 12 million native trees at over 20,000 sites Australia-wide.

For more information and to register online visit: www.treeday.planetark.org or call 1300 88 5000.

To celebrate National Tree Day, Landcare Australia is working in partnership with Planet Ark to plant a million native trees and shrubs nationwide. It would be wonderful if your group could join us by organising one or more tree planting sites in your local area.

If July is not your ideal planting time, Planet Ark has additional insured National Tree Day dates best suited to your local area. These dates can also be used for groups and volunteers to undertake ongoing care activities at their sites, to ensure plantings have the best chance of survival, and to encourage ongoing custodianship.

This year, National Tree Day aims to plant a million trees, but we cannot do that without your help. It is for this reason that I strongly encourage your group to get involved. Together, our communities can make a real difference.
