Free tree giveaway

The City of Sydney will give away 1,000 trees to our residents.

We'll ask for ID to check you live in the City of Sydney’s area. 

Each eligible household is entitled to up to 2 free trees until we run out. The event is popular and parking is limited, so arrive early to avoid disappointment.

There’ll be small, medium and large native and exotic trees to choose from, with a limit of one bay tree or citrus tree per household. See what trees will be available on the day. Pick a deciduous or evergreen species to best suit your property, and chat to us on the day for advice about how to plant your tree and general tree maintenance.

Plant trees on your balcony or backyard. You’ll help us reach our target of increasing local tree canopy to 27% by 2050. This makes our city cooler, improves air quality and provides a better habitat for birds and animals.
