National Tree Day – Upjohn Park Reserve Dundas

National Tree Day is Australia’s largest tree planting and nature care event! City of Parramatta has held National Tree Day events for the community to come together to improve our natural bushland for over a decade.

The objective of City of Parramatta’s National Tree Day 2026 event is to plant 10,000 native seedlings at the reserve along Ronald Avenue in Dundas, continuing our multiyear rehabilitation and revegetation project at this site. The vegetation at this reserve is part of the critically endangered Sydney Turpentine Ironbark Forest Community, which is heavily fragmented and has only 0.5% of its original extent remaining intact. The aim of this project is to stabilise the creek line and provide essential habitat for our native wildlife.

Please bring a water bottle, sun protection and wear enclosed footwear (no thongs or sandals).

We will provide tools and gardening gloves for the first 400 participants.

This event is family friendly with activities most ages can enjoy however all children ages 18 years and younger must be accompanied by an adult.

Registrations are essential. All participants (children and their caregivers) must be registered to attend.
