Get Involved This National Tree Day — Grow a Greener Future with Landcare!
Australia’s National Tree Day is more than just planting seedlings — it’s a celebration of the people who nurture our environment all year round. Across the country, thousands of Landcare volunteers and community groups dedicate their time to restoring habitats, improving biodiversity, and caring for local landscapes. And you can be part of that movement.
Connect with Your Local Landcare Group
Every town, coast, and bushland has its own environmental story—and Landcare groups are its storytellers. These grassroots heroes coordinate tree planting days, weed removal events, habitat restoration projects, bushfire recovery efforts, and educational workshops. Whether you’re a seasoned conservationist or a curious beginner, there’s a place for you to learn, lend a hand, and leave a lasting impact.
Why Trees Matter
Tree planting isn’t just symbolic—it’s science-backed restoration.
- Trees protect soil from erosion
- Provide food and shelter for native wildlife
- Absorb carbon dioxide and clean the air
- Cool our communities and reduce heatwaves
- Connect fragmented ecosystems and rebuild corridors for biodiversity
Big Impact, Local Action
From planting hundreds of native species in regional NSW to supporting koala habitats in Queensland, Landcare volunteers help safeguard Australia’s unique environment. These projects don’t just benefit wildlife—they also foster connection among neighbours, schools, farmers, and First Nations communities.
