What a wonderful idea. Every household in Wales will be given a free tree to plant as part of the Welsh Government’s commitment to tackle climate change. People will be able to choose a tree to plant themselves or have a tree planted on their behalf. Working with the Woodland Trust, the first trees will be available in March 2022. Not only will this help to tackle climate change but, as the Deputy Minister for Climate Change in Wales said, “This will enable people in Wales to further understand and experience the many benefits that trees can provide, not only to the environment but also to people’s health and wellbeing.” And that’s spot on. This article, ‘Why trees can make you happier’ from Greater Good Magazine explores just some of the studies that show just how good trees can be for us.
