A day to honour our Earth, and our trees

Honouring trees in advance
of 'Earth Day'.

This week, organizations around the world are honoring our planet and our trees in advance of the 46th celebration of Earth Day on April 22. To join in the conversation for “Earth Week,” we are celebrating the intimate connections between trees and climate change. Trees filter the air, trap atmospheric carbon, and help contribute to healthy, beautiful landscapes –from the city to the wilderness.

Trees are a part of daily life. From planting a single tree at home to understanding the science behind drought and tree health, the stories below, all of which aired previously on our radio show Climate Connections, show just how people are working with trees to combat climate change worldwide. Listen in to learn more!
