Planet Ark National Tree Day is an annual event in Australia, organized by Planet Ark in partnership with Toyota Australia and its Dealer Network.

The aim of National Tree Day is to encourage people to engage with native wildlife and learn more about their surrounding environment by planting native trees and shrubs with their community.

Our Planet Ark National Tree Day during 2024 was held in Spine St Park, Sumner. This planting extends the area planted out by the BCC Public Works Order that funded the first part.
WaCC received $1050.00 funding from the Planet Ark Tree Day seedling bank that paid for the purchase of 517 plants from wallum Nurseries.

The native plants chosen were a range of native species which will be different sizes when they are full grown. They will form a layer of low bushes, mid-size trees and very large Eucalypts which are suitable for koalas.

WaCC was able to fund Angie’s Barista Koffee Van which was a welcome sight and made the best coffees and other drinks to keep us going.

We had representation from a range of age groups and those who brought the whole family.
