As trees grow, they help stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, and releasing oxygen into the atmosphere.

Forestry can create endless jobs such as arborists and researchers whilst food-producing trees can create employment by providing fruit, nuts, berries, and leaves for consumption by both humans and animals.

Trees greatly benefit the people living around them by having a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing, reducing stress and encouraging outdoor exercise.
