The planting of trees is an effective method of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In fact world leaders are talking about doing this e.g. planting forests or “carbon sinks” (and as usual keep on talking).

We do more than talking: Our unique service offers you the chance to clear away unwanted emotions you have so you as a person are shaking off those ‘shackles' that have been holding you back AND you also have the pride in your self that you are helping the environment and every thing that grows, lives and breathes in it, not only in Britain but all over the world!

Six billion people now inhibit planet

Earth, and each and every one of us has

a stake in it's future. How we treat our

home, and how we treat each other,

will determine the fate of humankind.

Interesting Tree Facts..

The Oak is Britain 's National tree.

Oak trees can live for over a 1000 years.

Almost 98% (by weight) of a tree is made up of six elements:

Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur.

A tree branch is not actually attached to the rest of the tree. It is held in place by a series of interlocking “collars”. Collars overlap and mesh to form a tight woven pattern of tissue.

A mature oak provides lodging and often board (in the shape of insects, fruit, flowers and foliage) for more kinds of animal than any other European tree….

Some bristlecone pines are thought to be over 5000 years old.
An average metre tall tree will absorb 4.5 to 5kg of carbon dioxide a year.
A tree can absorb as much as 21.8kg of carbon dioxide a year and sequester 1 tonne of carbon dioxide by the time it reaches 40 years old.
Britain has more ancient oaks remaining than any other country in Western Europe .
World wide 500,000 trees are cut down every hour, 75 acres every minute, 108,000 acres every day and 39,000,000 acres a year.
