Scientists caution that we probably can’t “plant our way out” of the climate crisis, but growing big trees and keeping them around is an important piece of the puzzle.

The letters came from everywhere—Verona, Italy; Littleton, Colorado; Oakland, California; Augsburg Germany; Sherrodsville, Ohio; Springfield, Massachusetts; Bronx, New York. They were written by children, teenagers, and adults, and while some were just a few words, others filled pages with detailed life stories. But they all shared the same sentiment: Please take back the rocks we stole. We’re sorry; we shouldn’t have done it.

When a neighborhood's green space leads to better health outcomes, tree canopy may provide an outsized share of the benefits.

Only 30 per cent of the world’s primary forests are still intact. Deep in the interior of British Columbia, an ancient temperate rainforest that holds vast stores of carbon is being clear-cut as fast as the Amazon

Trees may be more connected than we think, suggests a new study that provides the first evidence neighbouring trees directly share water through their root systems.

There are 8,565 of them across the country, meaning a place to take a hike, fire up some s’mores or simply recharge is often just around the corner. In a year of traveling, we visited 53 of them.

Climate change is set to kill off most of our nation’s Joshua trees by the end of the century, according to a recent study. While some Joshua trees will hang on if humans rapidly lower their carbon emissions, if no action is taken to stop climate change we’ll lose nearly all of these iconic spiky trees, which only live in the area near southern California’s Joshua Tree National Park.

“Each degree of warming causes way more fire than the previous degree of warming did. And that’s a really big deal.”

Restoring the world's lost forests could remove two thirds of all the planet-warming carbon that is in the atmosphere because of human activity, according to a new study.
