2024 Annual Community Tree Planting Day
Rainforest Rescue’s 2024 Annual Community Tree Planting Day is scheduled for Saturday 18 May 2024 and you’re invited!
2024 also marks our 25th birthday, and we’re so excited to celebrate with you.
Make sure you don’t miss this planting… we have a feeling it’ll be a record-breaker!
“The better time to plant a tree was 25 years ago, the best time is now”.
Join us!
When:
Saturday 18 May 2024 – please ensure you arrive by 9:00 am
Where:
NightWings Rainforest Centre (2125 Mossman Daintree Road, Wonga, Qld)
What to bring:
- A water bottle (we will provide a water refill station)
- Sturdy closed-toed boots/shoes (if it’s been wet, we’d suggest gumboots or other waterproof boots)

RR will provide:
- First aid kit
- Healthy snacks for morning tea
- Hand sanitiser
- Gloves and small trowels (locals are welcome to bring their own if they are new or clean)

- A great location

- Overview of the Day
The event will commence at 9:00 am, so we will be finished planting before noon (before it gets too hot).
After a morning of planting trees to restore rainforest and connectivity, you’re invited to remain on site and celebrate 25 years of Rainforest Rescue with us.
Health and Safety
As always, the health and safety of our staff, supporters, and the communities in which we work are of utmost importance to us.
We ask that all attendees register for a free ticket via Humanitix.
Please ensure you dress appropriately for the event (e.g., sun-safe clothing, hat, sturdy closed-toed boots/shoes. If it’s been wet, we suggest gumboots or other waterproof boots, and a raincoat). Don’t forget to bring your water bottle and stay hydrated throughout the day.
If you are feeling unwell or have recently been unwell please do not attend the planting. We thank you for considering the health and safety of others
We’re looking forward to putting trees back on the land with you and celebrating our 25th birthday. See you in the Daintree!
