Event Info
Parkes Shire Council, in collaboration with Central West Lachlan Landcare and Planet Ark, is celebrating National Tree Day on Sunday 28 July 2024, 10am to 12pm. The event will take place at the Parkes Wetlands on Akuna Road, adjacent to the Parkes Wastewater Treatment Plant.
National Tree Day is Australia’s largest community tree-planting and nature care event. Each year, approximately 300,000 Australians volunteer their time to participate in various environmental activities, educating themselves and others about the natural world.
Participants can register to volunteer via the National Tree Day website https://treeday.planetark.org/site/10029716 or sign up in person on the day of the event. Attendees are urged to wear durable footwear and warm clothing, and to bring adequate quantities of water.
Since its inception in 1996, the National Tree Day program has significantly impacted Australian communities, with approximately 27 million trees planted to date.
