Planet Ark's National Tree Day started in 1996 and has grown into Australia's largest community tree planting and nature care event.

Queanbeyan Landcare has participated in every National Tree Day working with Council and other community groups or organising our own celebratory plantings.

2025

National Tree Day in 2025 was held on Sunday 27 July at The Scar off Southbar Road, Karabar. QPRC, Queanbeyan Landcare and more than 120 community volunteers started the task of turning a disturbed, bare site into a multi-species, structurally diverse area of native vegetation for wildlife and urban cooling.

2024

The 2024 National Tree Day event was held along Barracks Creek in Karabar on Sunday 28 July. The planting complemented the 2023 planting, reinforcing a critical vegetation and habitat link between surrounding natural areas.

2023

On Sunday 30th July 2023, Barracks Creek Reserve was the site of the National Tree Day event planned by Queanbeyan Landcare and QPRC. Hundreds of native trees and shrubs were planted along the eastern edge of Barracks Creek, in the area north of Barracks Creek Drive, across from the Barracks Flat Neighbourhood Park.

2022

In 2022 Queanbeyan Landcare and over 100 volunteers worked closely with QPRC on an extensive planting along the Queanbeyan River that aimed to supplement, restore and rejuvenate previous plantings in this area. Our History & Achievements page includes details of this event including plant lists and many images.
