Trees, of course, move a great deal of water from the earth out into the air via transpiration, cleaning it in the process.  Trees also are a great carbon sponge.  And some are particularly good for bees, like linden or tuliptree. The first Chris tree was planted by his parents on their cabin property in Michigan.

How To Get Involved

If you live somewhere which is amenable to a new tree you can plant it directly.  We are encouraging people to read up on what type of tree would thrive in the future at the place it is planted.  With global warming it may be necessary to pick a tree that will thrive in a climate that’s a bit warmer than what it is right now. 

Here are some resources about trees you might plant depending where you live:

Right Trees for climate change

US:

Arbor Day Foundation – Tree Wizard

Since many Hardiness Zone maps are specific to the US, this guide can help you adapt that to where you live.
