Trees are important

I have blipped this tree in the park near my mum’s house, which I remember all my growing up. I have never really appreciated it, but as I was going past, I suddenly thought how important trees are, particularly in light of the global climate emergency.

As trees grow, they help stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Trees provide many benefits to us, every day. They offer cooling shade, block cold winter winds, attract birds and wildlife, purify our air, prevent soil erosion, clean our water, and add grace and beauty to our homes and communities.

So, let’s plant more trees and save the trees we have.


Enjoy Saturday.
