Sharks Go Green For National Tree Day

The Cronulla Sharks have teamed up with Planet Ark and Toyota to support National Tree Day.
As Australia’s biggest community tree planting event, National Tree Day and Schools Tree Day are responsible for the planting of more than 15 million native trees and shrubs by around two million volunteers over the years.
“It is the simple things that can help make a difference to the environment such as turning off lights around the home, recycling and shorter showers,” coach of the Cronulla Sharks, Shane Flanagan, said.
“Planting a tree is a simple way for communities to do their bit for the environment and it is excellent and admirable that the Sharks have stepped up to lend Toyota a hand with such a great cause,” Manager for Promotions and Events at Toyota, Wayne Gabriel, said.

Round 21 will see the NRL go Green with playing grounds changing their grass signage to project National Tree Day’s message.
The Sharks will don green socks for their game against the West Tigers at Leichhardt Oval in Sydney. They will also be lending a hand at local tree planting events on Friday 30 July and Sunday 1 August.
“National Tree Day, supported by Toyota, is another simple and easy way you can make a difference,” Paul Gallen said.
“Everyone should get together with their friends from school, sporting club or family and plant a tree to do your bit this National Tree Day.”
