A Community Tree Planting Day is set down for Saturday 29 August 2020 with more than 1500 new trees tagged for planting at two Toowoomba Region parks.

Pittsworth’s Rotaract Park and Stenner Street Park, Middle Ridge have been selected for the event.

The Council hosted initiative will increase the region’s urban forest population and follows on the success of Planet Ark’s National Tree Day which inspires communities to plant trees and protect nature.

Those who are keen to participate are urged to make a booking due to COVID-19 health restrictions that will be in place limiting the number of attendees.
