Brian Hilton Toyota joined the staff and pupils of Wyoming Public School to dig in and celebrate the 22nd year of Planet Ark’s Schools’ Tree Day, on Friday, July 28.
Marking this special occasion, the members of Wyoming Public School and Brian Hilton Toyota undertook planting activities at the school, as part of what has become Australia’s largest community tree planting and nature care event.
Not-for-profit environmental foundation, Planet Ark, has again partnered with Toyota and its extensive national dealer network to get both communities and schools across Australia involved in the initiative.
Through Schools’ Tree Day and National Tree Day, which fell two days after, on Sunday, July 30, Planet Ark and Toyota hope to create a society in which people understand the value of their environment.
Brian Hilton Toyota is actively involved with the local community and has proudly supported National Tree Day for 16 years.
This year, Brian Hilton Toyota helped over 30 schools on the Central Coast with their Tree Day planting activities by providing the schools with locally supplied native seedlings.
Ms Debbie Agnew, spokesperson for Planet Ark, said: “Australia is a unique and breathtaking country and it is critical that we conserve our natural heritage, as well as bring nature back to urban areas, our homes, workplaces, schools and cities.
“With the support of Toyota and its dealer network, we are sure Australians will get their hands in the earth and give back to their community this National Tree Day.”
Dealer Principal, Mr Josh Hilton, added: “Toyota has a long tradition of supporting the community at local and national level and National Tree Day is a great way for us to give something back.
“Our team was there, buckets and spades at the ready, for a big day.”
