Through our Community Volunteering program, we have grown our tree planting program to continue our legacy caring for WA's natural heritage with RAC people, our members, and local communities.
During the 2024 winter tree planting season, we partnered with Volunteering WA, Woodvale Waters – Friends of Beenyup, Armadale Gosnells Landcare Group, Carbon Positive and City of South Perth to contribute 175 volunteering hours and planted more than 20,000 native seedlings.
We held three community tree planting days and had 190 members join us in Mary Carroll Park, Banyowla
Regional Park, and the Araulen Walk Trail to plant more than 6000 seedlings.
Our 2024 Community Volunteering program continued to provide our people with unique and meaningful opportunities and overall, we contributed over 4800 volunteering hours, which is valued at more than $230,000 to the WA community.
