Trees have all kinds of benefits for communities and the people who live in them. You’re planting shade and treehouses for your grandchildren, cool places for picnics, privacy for yards, and homes for wildlife. Planting trees helps fight climate change, grows fresh fruit, improves mental health, and creates beautiful environments for everyone to live and learn.
So, join the Everyone Plant One campaign, and plant one tree whether it's in your backyard or on your balcony.
Because, when everyone plants one, it’s better for everyone.
Go out and get your hands dirty and have some family fun planting and learning about all the amazing things trees can do for your home and your community.
If everyone plants one, together we will create more tree canopy, cooler suburbs and reach the NSW Government's goal of five million trees by the end of 2030.
Will you join in and plant one to make the place you live even greater?
