Activate Tree Planting host annual tree-planting music festivals run by volunteers, uniting the love of our earth with music, art, healthy food, indigenous culture, community and great fun.
We plant trees in an effort to revegetate and repair the widespread degradation of WA’s peri-urban and regional landscapes. We dance and sing while we do it.
Government regulations during Australia’s early colonial era saw the Wheatbelt region experience the clearing of critical bush land for farming practices. This mass destruction of the regions natural habitat has caused many serious environmental issues including salinity, erosion of soil, loss of habitat and of native species.
Every year, Activate Tree Planting hosts up to 3 tree planting festivals in rural areas, planting tens of thousands of native trees, bush and understorey, each winter while showcasing local musical talents and building strong community.
These events are family friendly and encourage people to get back in touch with nature, form life long friendships, have a good dance, and most importantly help our planet.
For more than twenty years, Activate has been revegetating the Western Australian Wheatbelt with a team of hard working volunteers from diverse backgrounds, our mobile DJ truck, and the help of local farmers, grants and sponsorships.
All fuelled by nourishing organic wholefood from our volunteer Kitchen Witches. Activate Tree Planting gets back in touch with Mother Nature through the spirit of celebration and the physical planting of trees. We repair our environment whilst meeting new friends and experiencing one of the rawest, connected and meaningful West Australian Bush festivals.
