National Tree Week
The UK's largest tree celebration annually launching the start of the winter tree planting season. The Tree Council is urging everyone who cares for their environment to put one tree – or more – in the ground. Not simply because it is a carbon
sequestration and storage tool and a regulator of the urban microclimate that takes up air pollution, nor because it ameliorates adverse effects of weather, reducing windspeeds on blustery days, giving shade on hot days, cooling the air, reducing heating and air conditioning costs and saving energy, which in turn cuts down air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels – though it is, and does, all of
these things.... read more Tree Council
