National Tree Day
Established in 1996, Planet Ark’s National Tree Day has grown into Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature care event. The program is a call to action for all Australians to get their hands dirty and give back to their community.
Each year, around 300,000 people volunteer their time to engage in environmental activities that educate Australians about the world around them. While every day can be Tree Day, we dedicate celebration of Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day to the last Friday and last Sunday in July.
The Seedling Bank
Established in 2019, The Seedling Bank is Planet Ark’s restoration grants initiative. It is an evolution of the work we do through Australia’s biggest tree planting and nature care event, also known as National Tree Day, which has seen Australians plant over 28 million trees since 1996.
The Seedling Bank is our way of giving back to the thousands of Australian volunteers who roll up their sleeves each year to give something back to the environment.
