The WA Tree Festival 2025 is a community celebration of trees in our urban areas and beyond, running from 12 April – 10 May.

The Town of Bassendean has organised a series of community events for the WA Tree Festival, including a variety of workshops, subsidised trees for residents and school holiday activities.

Why celebrate trees? Trees provide a range of benefits, including:  

• cooling our homes, streets, and environment (canopy cover can cool areas by up to five degrees, and reduce cooling costs in the home)
• providing shade and habitat for wildlife
• cleaning the air and improving mental and physical health
• reducing heat-related illnesses and death during heat waves
• increasing amenity and economic value of our homes, streets, and reserves (homes on tree-lined streets are worth an average of $16,000 more than homes on streets without trees).
