Cowra Council's National Tree Day was held on Friday, July 26 at the Cowra Adventure Playground from 12-3pm.

Like the 2023 event, this year also had a massive turn out from schools across the district.

The last Friday in July is dedicated to schools Tree Day.

Each year, thousands of schools participate nationwide in environmental activities that educate individuals about the world around them.

Activities on the day ranged from planting bush tucker gardens, building habitat for native wildlife, nature play and plenty of activities.

This year organisers also gave away 100 Bare Root Cowra Roses.

"National Tree Day is a great initiative and a beautiful day out, not to mention a great way to get involved with the community," said Pip Childs of Cowra Shire Council

National Tree Day was established in 1996.

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

The program is a call to action for all Australians to get their hands dirty and give back to their community.

Each year, around 300,000 people volunteer their time to engage in environmental activities that educate Australians about the world around them.

While every day can be Tree Day, Planet Ark dedicates the celebration of Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day to the last Friday and last Sunday in July each year.
