Tree Planting Resources

PLANT A TREE!

Inspired by 2017-2018 RI President Ian Riseley, Rotarians are planting more trees than ever!

Here's how you can get involved

• Develop projects with Rotaract and Interact Clubs
• Collaborate with community partners  and local experts
• Create international partnerships where tree planting can lift up entire communities

WHY PLANT

Trees are engines of economic development

• High nutrition foods for humans, animals, wildlife and insects
• Sustainable building materials and fuel
• Canopies in urban areas to cool, reduce energy use, absorb pollution and increase property values

Trees protect our environment

• Increase ground water recharge, prevent runoff and loss of soil
• Create habitat for wildlife
• Produce oxygen, use carbon dioxide, improve public health
• Slow global warming by storing carbon

Trees and woodlands provide spiritual renewal and life

• Walking in the woods stimulates the mind and soothes the soul
• Trees and woodlands provide homes for birds, and many other species
