By planting a tree you can help to reduce Ireland’s carbon emissions. Trees take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert much of it into wood. They also produce oxygen. Every year, each hectare of Ireland’s forests takes in 3.4 tonnes of carbon from the atmosphere, which helps in the battle against climate change. Trees also provide habitats for birds, insects and some small mammals.
