National Tree Week: LettsSafari Plants New Trees

LettsSafari starts its annual planting of naturally grown, new saplings. We take a look at how it's done for National Tree Week.

National Tree Week provides a perfect opportunity to highlight the crucial role trees play in rewilding and nature restoration efforts. At LettsSafari, this year's event is marked by the careful transplanting of young saplings and native trees cultivated in Exeter's Capability Brown Gardens to various LettsSafari parks. It's a busy time of the year.

Why Trees Matter in Rewilding

Trees are the backbone of any rewilding project. They offer a multitude of benefits, both ecological and aesthetic, providing shelter and food for countless species, from insects to birds and mammals. A diverse tree population can support a rich and complex ecosystem. Tree roots help to bind the soil, prevent erosion, and improve its structure. They also play a vital role in the nutrient cycle, enriching the soil with organic matter.

Most obviously, trees add beauty to the landscape, providing shade, colour, and texture. They create a sense of peace and tranquility for our spirits. And if that was not enough, they purify the air we breathe.

Did you know that there are certain tree lichens that can tell you how clean the air is in your area?
