What is The Seedling Bank?

Since 1996, National Tree Day has seen Australian communities plant almost 27 million trees. Planet Ark's Seedling Bank aims to further support these dedicated volunteers with their planting efforts by providing financial support where seedlings are needed most.

The program launched in 2019 with the goal of supplying native seedlings to schools and community groups around Australia. Financial grants are awarded directly to successful applicants to get seedlings in the ground and help restore our unique Australian landscape.

The Seedling Bank supports projects both big and small throughout the year, as we believe every day is Tree Day.
