Planet Ark's National Tree Day started in 1996 and has grown into Australia's largest community tree planting and nature care event.
It's a call to action for all Australians to get their hands dirty and give back to the community.
While every day can be Tree Day, we dedicate the celebration of Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day on the last Friday and Sunday in July.
Are you planting a tree on national tree day?
