Why We Plant Trees

As trees grow, they help stop climate change by removing carbon dioxide from the air, storing carbon in the trees and soil, as well as releasing oxygen into the atmosphere. Each tree planted will save an estimated 21kg of Carbon per year. Although fully grown trees will absorb more than a sapling, a younger forest will absorb more CO2 than an old forest which makes it essential to educate on how to keep your forest young to optimize this process.  The denser the tree, the more carbon it captures.  That is why the amazon is essential for carbon capture because there are so many hardwood species.
