One tree per child

School children across Greater Dandenong are encouraged to plant trees as part of a new program run by Council.

Council has signed up to the One Tree Per Child program, an international initiative established by the co-founders of National Tree Day (John Dee and the late Olivia Newton-John). The program aims to get every child to plant at least one tree before they leave school.

Grade three students in Greater Dandenong will have the opportunity to plant a tree with support from Council, with a goal to plant 1000 trees before the end of the year.
