Think cities can't breathe?
Urban forestry is our unsung hero, turning grey to green, slashing stress, cleaning air and water AND fighting off urban heat like an eco-shield.
Let's champion our leafy warriors and transform our concrete jungles

Soon, pollinators will start emerging from hibernation. As they appear, our native plants begin to bloom in succession, providing nectar & pollen at just the right moments💚
Many trees flower early, like willow (📷)

Plants, especially trees, help to mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide.
But plant pests & diseases can cause tree mortality, which reduces net carbon sinks.

We're asking all our partners and supporters to think twice about using herbicides. These potent chemical cocktails can harm pollinators & remove vital sources of food.

This hedgerow is a real thicket of blackthorn, full of buds just ready to burst open.
Blackthorn provides a valuable source of nectar and pollen for pollinators in spring 🌸🐝🪰🦋
