Schools Tree Day

In 2024, we had a whopping 29 schools register for our Schools Tree Day seedlings, with a massive 580 native plants going to Inner West schools!

Schools Tree Day is a great way to inspire students to learn about the local environment while playing an active role in their community. Schools can participate by planting bush tucker gardens, building habitat for native wildlife, encouraging nature play, and joining Planet Ark's annual school competition.

Inner West Council proudly supports this initiative by providing schools within the local government area with up to 50 free native seedlings to be planted within their school grounds (dependent on demand). Unfortunately, we are unable to accept species requests for this event.

This year, Schools Tree Day will be celebrated on Friday 25 July. Registrations close at close-of-business Friday 20 June.
