27th National Street Tree Symposium
3 & 4 September 2026
National Wine Centre, Adelaide
Trees do more than shade our streets – they’re essential urban infrastructure for bringing people together, supporting health and wellbeing, and providing spaces where individuals and communities thrive and grow side by side with nature. This year’s expert speakers will explore how urban trees connect us socially, culturally and ecologically and will lead inspiring discussions to improve Australian urban forestry into the future.
My presentation is “Community: obstacle or opportunity?” I’m looking forward to hearing some of the others, including:
Sarah Allchurch: “From canopy crisis to community movement: how trees became a political issue in Western Australia.”
Ming Hui Choy: “Encouraging resident stewardship of street trees in Canberra.”
Reb Rowe: “Thinking like a landscape for regenerative resilience.”
Samantha Titheradge: “Connecting Canberra’s community through trees.”
You can subscribe to the TREENET newsletter via their website, or follow them on Facebook or LinkedIn for updates.
Please let me know if you’ll be in Adelaide that week and would like to catch up.
