About Trees:
Trees combat the greenhouse effect and slow the effects of global warming.
They soak up carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen for us to breath.
Trees help prevent soil erosion and landslides.
Trees are essential habitat for native animals, birds and insects
Car owners need to plant 17 trees just to counter the greenhouse emissions from their cars.
Grass also gives off oxygen BUT grass adds to our carbon impact by the cost of grass cutting. Petrol, mowers and disposal. Change your grass to ground cover with a few stepping stones to walk on.
We can plant an Australian native tree (or trees) for you to help offset your impacts.each tree costs: Young Native seedling - $15.00 or an Established tree approx. One year old - $50.00 each. A certificate will be posted to you as verification of your offset. you may be able to claim a tax deduction for your offset in the future.
