This year's Schools Tree Day will be held on Friday 31 July. Planet Ark is asking teachers who are looking for a way to make a positive environmental difference, to register as Site Coordinators. Tree planting can take place within your school grounds or ask your local council if it can provide you with some seedlings to plant on nearby land. For more information visit the National Tree Day website.
In partnership with the Australian Association of Environmental Education, Planet Ark has produced the 'Get Growing!': Environmental Education Kit, which consists of 4 units, with stages suitable for Primary K-6. The kit offers activities which support a selection of state, territory and national syllabuses and curriculum frameworks that allow students to get the most out of their Schools Tree Day experience, and to develop them into environmental custodians who will look after our planet into the future.
