Mayor Nev Ferrier says he is looking forward to it.

“Council is really happy to support this initiative.

National Tree Day provides an opportunity for individuals to get their hands dirty, connect with nature, and give back to the community.

Volunteers across the country join forces each year to plant seedlings and restore thousands of hectares of our precious Australian landscape.

This event serves as a call to action, inspiring people to take an active role in environmental conservation and make a positive impact on our surroundings.

This year’s event requires no prior registration, welcoming all interested community members to gather at the Biloela Visitor Information Centre at 10.00 am on Sunday, July 30.

Food and drinks will be available at the venue, ensuring participants’ comfort throughout the event.
