Planting the right tree in the right place.
Rainforest tree species planted in natural rainforest climate areas grow very quickly and usually require no watering beyond the local rainfall.
The Australian Greenhouse Office estimates that a single hectare of replanted tropical rainforest will ‘sequester’ (store), on average, more than 700 tonnes of carbon in 20 years. The average Australian household is probably responsible for emitting about 400 tonnes in 20 years.
By extending our rainforests by planting new mixed species of rainforest trees you are helping breathe life back into the environment while recovering rare, threatened and endangered plant and animal species, including the endangered ‘Gardener of the Rainforest’ – the Cassowary.
If you can’t physically join us in the Daintree you can still plant a tree either for yourself or a loved one – click here to Give a Tree for Life. |
