TREE planting groups have until August 15 to apply for Federal Government funding as part of a program to plant millions of trees across Australia by 2020.

“Up to $6 million is now available for grants between $20,000 and $100,000 for tree planting projects that will put back threatened bushland and support threatened species,” he said.
