What are the benefits to a Global ReLeaf Forest?
Expanding the area of healthy trees and forests, and restoring natural ecosystems causes environmental, economic and social benefits that continue for decades. Growing forests take up carbon dioxide which helps reduce buildup of “greenhouse gases.” In addition, trees filter out air pollutants, prevent soil erosion and water pollution, help recharge ground water and sustain stream flow, provide habitat for wildlife, and give people a multitude of recreation opportunities. In each instance, the planting areas will be managed for the optimum public benefit under the professional guidance of the responsible organization.
