01-07-09

2008 Australian of the Year, Toyota Ambassador and Australian country music star Lee Kernaghan, is swapping his guitar for a shovel to help support Toyota’s involvement in Planet Ark’s National Tree Day.

Through his role as a National Tree Day Ambassador, Lee is encouraging people to participate in tree-planting activities, and revving up Toyota’s National Dealer Network who help make this community environmental initiative the success that it is.

Lee’s association with Toyota and National Tree Day has seen him travel Australia extensively visiting many schools and tree planting sites.

"I was born in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains and grew up in the Riverina region in Southern New South Wales. I love the bush and have seen some of the devastating effects the environment has had on some of our rural areas," Lee said. "National Tree Day is a great way for all of us to get involved by doing something positive."

Lee will be taking part in various Tree Day activities around Ipswich, Qld. on Friday, July 31st and will be a VIP guest at the Brisbane Media Site on National Tree Day, Sunday 2nd August. Where: Les Atkinson Park, Woff Street, Sunnybank, near Pengana Playground. On arrival signs will direct you to the main presentation and tree planting area.
