Inspired by Pope Francis, Laudato Tree is a youth-powered movement to plant and protect seven million trees—and empower local communities along Africa’s Great Green Wall, and through Tree Equity across North America.
Schools Tree Day is a great opportunity to inspire and educate future generations on the many benefits of trees and connection with nature.
Schools Tree Day is celebrated on Friday 26th July 2024, but you can register your event any time of year that suits your climate.
Tree Day is a great way to inspire students to learn about the local environment while playing an active role in their community.
Activities range from planting bush tucker gardens, building habitat for native wildlife, nature play, and our annual school competition.

National Tree Day
Planet Ark’s National Tree Day started in 1996 and has grown into Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature care event.
It’s a call to action for all Australians to get their hands dirty and give back to the community.
While every day can be Tree Day, we dedicate the celebration of Schools Tree Day and National Tree Day on the last Friday and Sunday in July.
Schools Tree Day is Friday 26 July and National Tree Day is Sunday 28 July. Tropical Tree Day is Sunday 1 December.

There are two ways you can change the world:
1. Grow Trees.
One person, one action, one seed can change the world. Ours is a 1-for-1 model. For every $10 you contribute, you grow—and protect—two Laudato Trees: one in Africa and one in North America..
Use your voice. Join our movement. Change the world.
“Today, I congratulate the young people who are working on the ‘Laudato Tree’ initiative. I hope that many can support the example of solidarity of these young people.”
—His Holiness Pope Francis, May 10, 2020
