Sunday 26 July 2026 – Inner West Council
Inner West Council’s Urban Ecology team invites you to take part in National Tree Day on Sunday 26 July 2026. This is an exciting opportunity to get your hands dirty, give back to the community and be part of our group effort to improve biodiversity in the Inner West!
National Tree Day is an opportunity to plant local native species, grown with the help of volunteers. This year's planting event will increase habitat corridors for local native fauna along the river by restoring an area of Estuarine Swamp Oak Forest. Featuring a unique assemblage of plants that make up this floodplain community and show you what Country you are on.
Your participation in National Tree Day helps combat the widespread loss of urban bushland, in a combined effort to restore midstory and understory vegetation and provide crucial habitat to native small bird species, reptiles, marsupials and mammals. Expect to see and learn about all the locally native plants and Natural Areas of the Inner West!
