After a walk with treescape researcher Miles Richardson, I'm glowing and energized.

Around 16 football pitches of trees per minute were lost to forest fires in 2021, a new report says. Data from Global Forest Watch suggests that across the globe, the amount of tree cover being burned has nearly doubled in the past 20 years. Climate change is a key factor in the increase as it leads to higher temperatures and drier conditions.

It is less of a marathon and more of an amble. But then a “walking forest” of 1,000 trees was never going to move at speed. Since May, volunteers have been transporting the native trees planted in wooden containers along a 3.5km stretch through the centre of the northern Dutch city of Leeuwarden, giving people an opportunity to experience an alternative, greener future.

To help revitalize millions of acres of burned and damaged forests across the American West, the U.S. Department of Agriculture aims to plant more than one billion trees over the next decade. Wildfires and other issues have devastated U.S. woodlands in recent years, and Forest Service arborists can’t keep up with replanting lost trees. They’ve reforested just six percent of land damaged by fires, pests and extreme weather events, which has created a backlog of about 4.1 million acres.

The Biden administration on Monday said the government will plant more than one billion trees across millions of acres of burned and dead woodlands in the U.S. West

Researchers used LANDSAT satellite data to document how tree-cover changed in California from 1985 to 2021, being shrunk by wildfires, logging, and droughts.

Thanks to Iceland's reforestation efforts, its forest and scrub cover is six times larger than it was in 1990.

To fight climate change, companies and nonprofits have been promoting worldwide planting campaigns. Getting to a trillion is easier said than done.

They store carbon efficiently, contain more biodiversity than forests and protect against floods and wildfires. So, why aren't wetlands a bigger part of the climate-change discussion?

The worsening intensity of recent blazes has been too much for sequoia trees to handle.

A NSW farmer says productivity has improved after planting lines of trees, known as shelterbelts, admitting "it is a lot of work but the results are terrific". 

The age of the ancient alerce tree is more than 5,000 years.

The next miracle drug might be hiding in a primeval undersea forest.

There are dozens of apps that promise to plant trees in exchange for your usage, but critics say not all of them are making a positive impact on the climate.

Tree-planting drones take flight after devastating wildfires.

New data suggests forests help keep the Earth at least half of a degree cooler, protecting us from the effects of climate crisis

There comes a time in most people’s lives, certainly in most writers lives, when they’ll need to start thinking about how to bury a body. A dead body that is. It can’t be that hard, can it? After all, we’ve seen them do it on TV. A brief shot of a spade (or is it a shovel?) in action, a brief cut in the film, and the body is next to the grave ready to be disposed of. The sides of the grave are always nice and neat and self-supporting as well, so how hard can it be?

Analysis of satellite observations show forest is losing stability with ‘profound’ global implications

The Oldest Tree in the World by Summer Price We all know trees can live really long lives. It’s no surprise that they typically live longer than humans and everything else on the planet. Trees can live anywhere from less than 100 years to more than a few thousand years depending on the species...
