Join us for Family Tree Day

Posted: 2 March 2011

Family Tree Day in Centennial ParklandsFamily Tree Day is a special day where the greater community can contribute by planting new trees en masse and in doing so raising much needed funds for the Foundation.

This year’s event will be held on Sunday 31 July 2011 and the location will be Sandstone Ridge, Centennial Park. Says Ted Hoare, Parklands Senior Arborist: ‘This area has been the site for previous Family Tree Day plantings and has really benefitted from it. Over the years the young trees have grown and the vista is now quite magnificent.’

A tax-deductible donation of $1,000 will secure you a tree on this special planting day and there are plenty of Australian native trees to choose from. You will also receive a dedication certificate, photograph and location map of your tree.

Family Tree Day is your special day and we invite you to make your own celebration of the event.

Gather with family and friends, roll up your sleeves, don your hats, put on your boots and, with the help of our arborists, start planting your special family tree!

The Foundation will also hold a National Tree Day for Schools event on Friday 29 July 2011.

On this day school groups will have the opportunity of planting selected trees on Mount Steel in Moore Park. If you would like your school to participate in this program, simply ask them to register with us.

In the words of British author Mirabel Osler: ‘To be able to walk under the branches of a tree that you have planted is really to feel you have arrived with your garden. So far we are on the way: we can now stand beside ours.’

If you would like to stand beside your tree in Centennial Parklands, register to participate in Family Tree Day now.
