A win-win for people and the planet 

Planting trees is a major win-win for people and the planet. Not only are trees enjoyed for the beauty, clean air and shade they provide, but they also improve biodiversity and play a role in fighting climate change.  

A biodiverse landscape 

Planting a variety of native trees and plants helps to foster tree growth, provides essential nutrients, attracts pollinators and protects against pests and diseases. A biodiverse landscape will contribute to better soil health and ecosystem resiliency, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the area.
