PLANT A TREE IN HONOUR OF YOUR FAMILY OR A SPECIAL EVENT
Can you think of a better way to show your love for your family than literally giving it life? Why not plant a tree in your backyard in honour of your loved ones, a special event, milestone or achievement? Some of our team will be doing so, and we hope we can inspire you too.
Why plant trees?
Trees are natural carbon sequesters – meaning they absorb and capture carbon from our atmosphere. The timber they produce is also an important, environmentally friendly building material because it stores carbon and is a renewable resource. So it’s important we continue to plant trees and look after our natural environment.
Being in nature is also good for your health and wellbeing! Having a dedicated day to plant a tree (or more) gets us all out and into our beautiful landscapes.
Some unbe-leaf-able facts on the National Tree Day impact, since 1996:
- 26 million trees planted
- 5 million volunteers
- 10 million hours of time donated
WOW! And we couldn’t achieve it without YOU.
