Green up your patch on National Tree Day

Published on 22 July 2024

To celebrate National Tree Day in 2024, we're giving away free trees.

National Tree Day is a great opportunity to maintain and enhance our beautiful environment for local wildlife as well as ensuring the region continues to be a great place to live.

Mayor, Cr Ian Smith said council is seeking residents to get their hands dirty for the environment and get the benefits that come from spending time outdoors.

“We'll have a range of indigenous native trees available including species such as Red Flowering Gum and Broadleaf Hop Bush,” said Cr Smith.

“We invite people to come pick up their free tree at one of our community information sessions across the shire,” he said.
