Register for National Tree Day at Milton Park

Published on 17 July 2024

Get your hands dirty and help plant 1000 native trees and shrubs at Milton Park, Macquarie Fields during National Tree Day on Sunday 28 July.

This year’s event is once again being held at the Macquarie Fields site as part of ongoing efforts to regenerate critically endangered Cumberland Plain Woodland in the area.

“More than 4500 native stems have been planted at Milton Park since the first National Tree Day event was held there in 2022 so we’re once again calling on the community to continue this fantastic effort and join us for this year’s event,” Mayor Dr George Greiss said.

“By helping to increase canopy cover in urban areas such as this, we can provide valuable habitat for local native species,” Dr Greiss said.

The event is being held in partnership with Greening Australia as part of its Rewilding Sydney project, proudly funded by the NSW Government as well as the Redfern Creek Bushcare Group and local schools.

People can register to join in a 1-hour session between 10am and 2pm on the day.

People attending are encouraged to wear a hat, long pants, enclosed shoes and drinking water.
