The theme for August centres around "National Tree Day", which is celebrated on the first Sunday of August. Since its beginning in 1996, National Tree Day has become the largest annual tree-planting event in Australia.
The educational resource includes a video and printable PDF about National Tree Day, highlighting the involvement of Columban missionaries worldwide. Students are provided with reflection questions to encourage thoughtful discussions and a deeper understanding and appreciation for the environment and the importance of tree planting.
