ForestLearning

Today is National Forestry Day, with this year's theme: "celebrating nature's carbon store". 🌲❤️🌳 A day to recognise and celebrate the important role that sustainable forestry plays in mitigating climate change, keeping our forests healthy for the future, and for supplying a renewable material for the everyday products we need and love; from paper to furniture, to house frames and more! 💡 Learn how much carbon is stored in the trees in your area with our very popular Tree Carbon Storage Tape Measures, developed in partnership with CSIRO. This is a versatile and fun tool for visualising what the carbon stored in a tree offsets, such as the "manufacture of 500 smart phones".
