WA Tree Festival – Community Activities
April 6 @ 8:00 am - May 5 @ 5:00 pm
Free – $5
The WA Tree Festival 2024 is a community celebration of trees in our urban areas and beyond, running from 6 April – 5 May 2024.
Trees are crucial for our health and wellbeing, they provide a range of benefits, including:
- Cooling our homes, streets, and environment (canopy cover can cool areas by up to five degrees, and reduce cooling costs in the home)
- Providing shade and habitat for wildlife
- Cleaning the air and improving mental and physical health
- Reducing heat-related illnesses and death during heat waves
- Increasing amenity and economic value of our homes, streets, and reserves (homes on tree-lined streets are worth an average of $16,000 more than homes on streets without trees).
