Creedon PLLC Hits 30,000 Trees Planted

As part of the Creedon PLLC One Future Initiative, we have committed to planting over 50,000 trees by the end of 2022. As of the beginning of July, we’re proud we have already reached our mid-year goal of 30,000 trees.

For our tree planting initiative, we partner with Ecologi — a certified B Corp working energetically to address climate change. We believe strongly that tree planting is on effective way to make a positive contribution to a healthier planet. Here are some insights from Ecologi:
Forest restoration and reforestation are well-known climate solutions because of trees’ ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their biomass. This carbon absorption ability is entirely natural, and far exceeds the efficiency of any man made carbon removal tech that currently exists. As well as carbon sequestration though, planting trees is a wonderful thing to do for a number of other reasons:

• Trees provide habitat, shade, shelter, and food for local wildlife. Planting trees therefore supports biodiversity and helps to prevent species loss.

• Trees can provide products that local people can use and sell – like fruits and nuts – without harming the trees themselves.

• Degraded soil increases the risk of landslides and desertification, and the roots of trees help to stabilise the soil and minimise this risk for local communities.

• Trees can help to purify air and water sources, providing better health outcomes for local communities.

• Coastal tree species like mangroves provide excellent natural barriers which protect the shoreline from storms.

• Trees make us feel better: research suggests they have a positive impact on our mental health.
