Mark Your Calendars: Let's Get Green on National Tree Day!

Australia’s National Tree Day is celebrated on July 30th, and since its beginning, over 26 million trees have been planted across the country. That’s like creating a green territory as vast as the city of Sydney!

Check out these cool facts about National Tree Day:

  • Over 300,000 people get involved in this event each year!
  • The roots of National Tree Day were planted by Planet Ark and the wonderful Olivia Newton-John back in 1996 and the first-ever event took place at Sydney Olympic Park. 
  • Guess which tree is the star of the show? It’s the eucalypt! These beauties are the most commonly planted trees on National Tree Day
  • The planted 26 million trees have absorbed over 10 million tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. That’s like taking more than 2 million cars off the road in terms of emission reduction!
