The beauty of trees

Air Quality: A single mature leafy tree can produce enough oxygen in one season to support 10 people for a year. They also act as "carbon sinks," locking away CO2​.

Flood Prevention: In hilly regions like the Sussex High Weald, tree roots act as natural sponges. They slow the flow of rainwater into the soil, significantly reducing the risk of flash flooding in towns downstream.

Ashdown Forest and the South Downs, East Sussex has some of the highest woodland coverage in the UK, providing vital "green lungs" for a densely populated corner of the country.

The maintenance of trees.
Trees and woodland also need to managed and maintained. This is involves highly skilled certified work to prune, treat and sometimes remove trees that are dying or are causing foundations to lift or obstructing over head cables. We recommend that non native trees be removed and more suitable native trees are planted in place. You need a balance that suits your garden or landscape, that stewards the nature around.
