On Friday, 28 July, residents can head down to one of two locations:

  • 9am - 12pm, South West Rocks Library
  • 1pm - 4pm, Kempsey Library

It's important to note that orders will not be taken, so it will be a first-come, first-served basis. 

National Tree Day serves as a call to action for all Australians to join hands and work together in cultivating a greener, cooler local environment for the benefit of future generations.

Mark your calendars and get ready to get your hands dirty for a great cause - together, we can make a difference and create a vibrant and sustainable community we can all be proud of.

Initiated by Planet Ark in 1996, this event has blossomed into Australia's largest community tree planting and nature care initiative. With an impressive track record of 26 million trees planted by 5 million dedicated volunteers, spanning over 10 million hours of donated time, National Tree Day continues to inspire and mobilise communities across the country.
