Get out those gardening gloves and be part of Geraldton’s green transformation by joining the Million Trees Community Planting Days.
As part of the City of Greater Geraldton’s Million Trees Project, more than 568,800 plantings have been registered since 2011 and the community are invited to help further grow this incredible achievement.
City of Greater Geraldton Mayor Jerry Clune said planting days gives locals the opportunity to make a difference.
“We know how important greening our City is to our community - it was one of the top priorities mentioned during the engagement for our Strategic Community Plan,” he said.
“To make it easier for people to get involved three Community Planting Days are being held across Greater Geraldton in the coming weeks.
“By working together to green where we live we will create a lasting legacy for our future generations.
“Every seedling planted will also bring us one step closer to growing our Million Trees Project tally.”
Residents interested in helping to green the City are invited to take part in the following planting days:
- Swan Drive Sunset Beach: Saturday 4 July 2026 9am-11am. Meet at the Swan Drive carpark. Hosted by Chapman River Friends.
