As children, trees were our magical companions. They gave us cool shade in the summer, trunks to climb, and branches to birdwatch. And they’ve never forgotten us:

-
A mature tree can reduce peak summer temperatures by up to 9° Fahrenheit.
But trees are falling at an alarming rate.
And every living thing that depends on them is in jeopardy…

*Based on 24.5 million acres destroyed in 2014We must restore our connection with trees
The United Nations has acknowledged that trees cool temperatures, sequester greenhouse gases, and purify air and water. Now we must actively work together to conserve them in order to combat climate change – and protect the planet.
