Tree Cities of the World

Bendigo has been recognised as one of 2022's Tree Cities of the World!

The recognition places Bendigo among 168 other cities from 21 countries worldwide as part of an important global network leading the way in urban forestry.

Our inclusion in the programme in its third year is a credit to all Parks and Open Space staff that create, maintain, and enhance the City’s green spaces, and a reminder that we are so fortunate to be part of a community that embraces and appreciates the City’s urban forest and public greening.

Tree Cities is a program of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Arbor Day Foundation, Tree Cities of the World website
