Trees are a gift to our planet and ourselves. They support life on earth and provide humans with the air we breathe. They symbolise resilience, community and the interconnectedness of all life
The livelihood of our world and its inhabitants depends on the health of our trees and forests and there are a number of reasons we should plant trees:
- To tackle climate change
- Toclean the air
- To prevent soil erosion and improve water quality
- To create and restore habitats
- To improve your mental and physical health
On National Tree Day, Sunday 28 July, rejoice in the gift of trees!
