WA Tree Festival 2025
The WA Tree Festival 2025 is a community celebration of trees in our urban areas and beyond. Running from 12 April to 10 May 2025, the festival highlights the vital role trees play in creating greener, healthier, and cooler communities.
It is proudly delivered thanks to a collaboration of local and regional councils, including the City of Kalamunda
Why Trees Matter
Trees are a critical part of our environment, offering a wide range of benefits:
Cooling our homes, streets, and neighbourhoods (canopy cover can lower temperatures by up to five degrees and reduce home cooling costs).
Providing essential shade and important habitat for native wildlife.
Improving air quality and supporting better mental and physical health.
Reducing the risk of heat-related illnesses during extreme heat events.
Boosting the amenity and economic value of our homes, streets, and reserve.
City of Kalamunda Activities
The City is proud to support the spirit of the WA Tree Festival through a series of community activities and programs that encourage residents to get involved in greening our community:
Plants for Residents Program
Our annual Plants for Residents program provides free plants to residents to support the establishment of natural habitat in backyards and verges across the City and improve our urban canopy.Commemorative Tree Planting
Applications for the 2025 Commemorative Tree Planting program will open in May. This initiative provides community members with the opportunity to plant a tree in honour of a loved one or significant event.Annual Street Tree Planting Program
Each year, the City plants new street trees throughout our suburbs to increase canopy cover, beautify our streets, and create more vibrant, liveable neighbourhoods.
These programs are part of the City’s ongoing commitment to creating a cooler, greener, and more connected community. We encourage everyone to get involved and celebrate the many ways trees enhance our lives!
