Environmental and Social Benefits of Tree Planting

Tree planting is one of the most engaging, environmentally friendly activities that people can take part in to better the planet. Trees provide a multitude of benefits, both long and short term. As well as being attractive aesthetically, they remove and store carbon from the atmosphere, slow heavy rain and so reduce the risk of flooding, enhance air quality and improve the urban heat island effect by reflecting sunlight and providing shade. Trees have a strong climate change mitigation effect when in high enough numbers. Trees greatly benefit the people living around them by having a positive impact on mental health and well-being, reducing stress and encouraging outdoor exercise. This is in addition to the benefits they will receive from an improved environmental quality and improved amenity which comes with planted areas. Thika TTI is dedicated to raising awareness of the importance of forests and trees for the well-being of people and the planet.
