This Mother’s Day, remind your mum of how unique she is by planting a tree on her behalf. Just like mums, no two trees are the same, and planting a tree comes with so many other benefits.
Why should you gift your mum a tree this Mother’s day?
There are numerous reasons why you should gift your mother a tree. Your gift will reduce air pollution by capturing pollutants, which is vital because paper producers, like the ones that make Mother’s Day cards, emit oxides of nitrogen, sulphur, and carbon.
Your mum’s new tree will provide habitats for wildlife, including food for animals. While some species, such as foxes, are able to adapt to urban environments, others cannot. Dormice, for example, need the special environments found in woodland. However, these habitats are often too small and fragmented by roads or farmland.
While on the subject of farmland, it is important to note that ploughing makes water to wash away; however, tree roots can improve drainage. Therefore, trees can reduce surface flooding by capturing water.
Finally, your mum will receive a certificate to celebrate the planting of her own tree.
