National Tree Day for Schools

Schools Tree Day 2026 – Registrations are now Closed

Each year Frankston City supports kindergartens, pre-schools, primary and secondary schools in our municipality to improve their natural environment by providing free indigenous plants for Schools Tree Day on Friday the 24th of July 2026 to enhance the natural environment for increased biodiversity and better outdoor learning opportunities, including more nature play.

Successful applicants for our Environmental Ambassador Program will be contacted with further information in the coming months.

Thank you to all centres and schools who applied for free plants for Schools Tree Day 2026 we are now getting ready to deliver 12,000 indigenous plants in July.
