Store carbon dioxide

In a year, a single mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of carbon dioxide. Storing carbon is important to help mitigate the effects of climate change.

Clean the air

Trees soak up other pollutants and toxins emitted by humans everyday.

Produce Oxygen

In a single season, 1 mature leafy tree can produce enough oxygen to allow 10 of us to breathe.

Protect from flooding

A single mature, leafy tree can absorb up to 450 litres of water through its roots every day, as well as capturing rain water on the surface of its leaves.

Their roots reduce soil erosion in the ground and slow the filtration of water into our cities.

Cool the earth

While absorbing water, trees will release water vapour through evapotranspiration from their leaves, this produces a cooling effect.

A single mature tree on average is equivalent to 10 air conditioning units running for 20 hours in a day.

Food and habitat for Wildlife

Trees provide a source of food and habitat to wildlife that share our urban environment.
