burning trees

400+ tonnes carbon per hectare, that's how much a young wood with mixed native species can lock up in trees, roots and soil.

trees improve the soil: mature trees help improve water quality and enrich the soil with nutrients.

trees support wildlife: trees are of great benefit to the local ecosystem because they provide habitat, food and shelter not only for smaller plants but also for animals.

trees cool and give shade: the placement of trees in urban areas can cool the air between 2 and 8 degrees celsius.

trees purify air: trees absorb pollutant gases such as nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia, sulfur dioxide. they also absorb odors and act as a filter as little particulates get trapped in leaves. a mature acre of trees can yearly provide oxygen for 18 people.
