Project Forest

The greatest threat to our environment today is climate change.

This is caused by increasing amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. These hold on to the heat radiated by the sun and so causes our planet to heat up.

Trees can remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

Trees also support biodiversity and provide renewable raw material .

Project Forest is where you will learn all you need to know about trees

So What is This About?

Project Forest is designed for Transition year students. It takes a wide educational approach to learning about trees.

There are four modules:

Biology

Culture
