The state government wants to provide more shade, cleaner air and make Sydney a more beautiful place to live.
You can play your part by planting trees in your backyard.
To be eligible for free trees, you must live in one of the 33 local government areas in Greater Sydney.
You can apply for free trees from March to May. Aboriginal-owned not-for-profit IndigiGrow, based in La Perouse, will provide the trees.
Further opportunities for free trees will be announced in June.
