Helping Trees & Hedgerows at School
One of the most essential services provided by biodiversity is our air - we couldn't go very long without that! Trees have a big role to play. It is estimated that we each need about 7 to 8 trees to provide our oxygen for the entire year. That's at least 175 trees for the average Irish primary school classroom. Thankfully, across the planet we have over 3 trillion trees. While that sounds good, we are losing 10 billion trees every year - about an area the size of Croke Park every 3 seconds. This trend is bad for us, the trees and for the habitats they provide. So, let's do something about it! Be sure to follow our Coill na nÓg campaign each autumn for free trees and hedgerows for your school.
