Join us for National Tree Day 2026

Published on 09 July 2026

The community is invited to play a role improving urban biodiversity in the Mildura South Wetlands area as part of Mildura Rural City Council’s National Tree Day event on Sunday, 26 July.

This year’s event will focus on the Robbins Wetland, which is part of the broader South Mildura Wetlands.

Councillor for Environmental Sustainability Jodi Ewings said the event was a chance for residents to come together and meet new people, all the while helping to beautify the urban environment and increase biodiversity.

“National Tree Day is a great initiative that shines a light on the importance of continuing to look after and regenerate natural areas within our urban environment,” Cr Ewings said.

“This year we’re going to partner with our community to plant 300 trees in the area, which will not only benefit the environment but is a great opportunity for residents to come together, meet new people and get active outdoors.

“We’ve chosen the Robbins Wetland again for this year’s event as it’s an important site given it creates habitat for plants and animals.”

Council’s National Tree Day event will get underway at 10am and run through to 11.30am, with morning tea provided.

Robbins Wetland is on Rita Drive, off Ontario Ave, close to Sixteenth Street.

Council will provide gloves, tools, buckets, drinking water and refreshments. Participants are asking to wear appropriate clothing, including good sturdy shoes and long pants.
