Wedding Tree Favours

Let your wedding favour do the planet a favour.

Make your wedding a little bit green by giving each of your guests an native Tree Seedling. These trees will have started their lives the year you get married but with luck will grow and develop for many years after you have departed this world. The average Oak, for example, will live over 300 years.

There is much concern about CO2 pollution these days and these trees will store up many kilos of CO2 over the years. If each of your guests plants a tree then the total amount stored will make a significant contribution to lowering CO2 levels.

• A 100 year old oak tree will contain 11 tonnes of CO2 and a flight from London to Athens will produce 2.5 tonnes of CO2. As each plane carries an average of 300 pasengers so one tree will ofset 1320 flights made by the person who plants it.
• Oak trees support a huge diversity of other life, Over 300 species of Lichens are found on Oaks, 65 species of Mosses, 350 types of insects, 200 species of Fungi and all these provide food for a large variety of birds and mammals. So plant one tree and provide a home for over 1000 species.
• Oaks reach up to 40 meters in height
• Oaks regularly live to be 500 years old and individuals of 1000 years are known
