I love trees because they are ecosystem superstars; they provide habitat to birds, insects and mammals, they provide shade and cooling to land and water, benefitting fish, animals and people, they help regulate and purify our air and water, their roots help stabilise our soils and help water percolate deep into the ground, they take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and give out oxygen (O2) for us to breathe, they can connect directly to other trees, fungi and plant species: quite simply they are multi-tasking superheroes and they beautiful to behold!
