Planting trees transforms lives

Trees are one of our greatest allies when it comes to beating the climate emergency.

Trees help combat climate chaos by removing planet-wrecking emissions from the air around us. They also play an invaluable role in our ecosystems, providing a home to wildlife and protecting soil and water systems.

Trees are not just bystanders in the fight against climate chaos; they are frontline warriors. Their ability to absorb harmful emissions, mitigate extreme heat, and serve as flood defences is a testament to their invaluable contribution. The fact that they also promote mental health and well-being is a bonus.

The urgency of the climate crisis cannot be overstated. We’re facing disastrous climate changes, including extreme weather and sea-level rises that will put millions of lives at risk.

The most effective strategy to halt the progression of the climate crisis is to urgently curb carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2, once released into the atmosphere, acts like a warming blanket, heating up the planet.

It’s a fortunate fact that trees absorb CO2. They need it to grow. A large tree can absorb hundreds of kilograms of CO2 during its lifetime. And research shows that different species absorb CO2 at different rates depending on where they’re planted, further highlighting their crucial role in the fight against climate change.

Trees clean the air we breathe

It’s a win-win scenario with trees. They absorb CO2 and in return, release oxygen, which helps us breathe. This dual role of trees in the carbon cycle is a testament to their importance in maintaining a healthy environment.

Trees filter dangerous pollutants from the air using their leaves and bark.
Air pollution is linked to premature death and respiratory disease, so trees help by trapping those pollutants.

The climate crisis is bringing summer heatwaves, which makes the effects of air pollution even more dangerous to our health. Built-up urban areas remain hotter overnight than rural areas, but trees in towns and cities help cool temperatures by up to 5°C.

Trees help the earth and protect livelihoods

Trees filter water naturally. Heavy rainfall runs off flooded land during the monsoon, collecting pollutants and transporting them into our rivers and streams.

Trees help prevent this by intercepting rainfall with their leaves, branches, and trunks. Their roots also play a part. They hold the soil in place so that it can withstand heavy rainfall and not be washed away.

Trees create a livelihood from tree surgery to fruit harvesting and landscaping to green waste management.

Trees even help the planet when they’re dead. Decaying leaves and bark, known as mulch, add a protective layer to the earth. This layer protects against evaporation from heat – and retains water – keeping soil healthy so that other things can grow, such as vegetables, fruit and flowers.
