Why plant more trees?

Trees are warriors in the fight against climate change. They capture the greenhouse gas, Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and lock up the carbon, helping to slow the rise in global temperatures.

Planting trees and hedges along veges will provide both shade and the cooling effect of transpiration from leaves. Planting trees will help halt or reverse the catastrophic decline in biodiversity by providing homes for nesting birds, shelter for small animals and invertebrates as well as extending our wildlife corridors,

Trees fight against flooding by taking up water, and ghey also absorb pollution.
