What is National Tree Day?

National Tree Day, celebrated on the first Sunday of August in Australia, is the country's largest community tree-planting event. Founded in 1996 by Planet Ark, the initiative has seen more than 24 million trees and plants planted by over four million Australians at schools, parks, bushland reserves, and local community spaces. Planting trees is a simple but powerful act for fighting climate change, restoring habitats, and improving local environments. National Tree Day inspires Australians to connect with nature and take tangible action to protect the natural world for future generations.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
