National Tree Day 2021

More than 2000 new trees and 300 native scrubs and grasses will be planted out across three Toowoomba Region parks on Saturday 4 September, as part of an initiative to increase the region’s urban forest population.

This continues Councils involvement with Planet Ark’s National Tree Day, held annually, which inspires communities to plant trees and protect nature.

Westbrook Park and Centenary Park, Westbrook and Mount Peel Bushland Park, Drayton are the locations identified for tree planting.  The event will be held on Saturday 4 September from 8.00am to 11.00am.

Local tree enthusiasts keen to participate in the day’s activities are urged to make a booking due to COVID-19 health restrictions that will be in place limiting the number of people who can attend.
