Planting trees

Mayor Clare Stewart with trees for Schools Tree Day.

Schools across Noosa Shire will once again participate in Schools Tree Day this Friday 28 July.

Schools Tree Day is a great opportunity to inspire and educate future generations on the many benefits of trees while nurturing their connection with nature.

In an initiative led by Mayor Clare Stewart, Noosa Council will supply over 150 free native plants to nine schools in the Noosa Shire for planting on Friday.

The trees supplied by Noosa & District Landcare, will be delivered to the schools by Mayor Clare Stewart, Councillors and Council staff throughout this week.

Established in 1996, National Tree Day has grown into Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature care event. The program is a call to action for all Australians to get their hands dirty and give back to their community.

Schools Tree Day is a great way to inspire students to learn about the local environment, foster stewardship, whilst also playing an active role in their community.

Schools are encouraged to undertake their own tree planting event at any time of year that suits the climate and regenerative activities.
