This week we’ve travelled all the way from roots to shoots and for the final day of #TreesAreTheKey we’re focusing on new growth. Maintaining hope is about staying active and working towards change - how can you use what you’ve learnt this week moving forwards?

The theme of this year’s International Day of Forests is ‘Forests and Economies,’ so we wanted to take a look at how our work affects the economy in the communities we support.
#TreesAreTheKey
A tree transports water and resources through the xylem (a hollow tube of dead cells). For day 6 of #TreesAreTheKey we’re thinking about the importance of an equitable approach to resource distribution. What changes can you make to contribute?

On day 5 of #TreesAreTheKey we’re appreciating the ways nature contributes to our health and wellbeing. Studies have shown spending time with trees lowers cortisol and improves mood: the blossom on their branches allows us to do the same.

Every leaf can be traced back to the trunk: day 4 of #TreesAreTheKey celebrates the way that ideas branch and knowledge spread. Word Forest builds classrooms and facilitates education but the impact reaches further: ‘if you educate a woman, you educate a whole community’.

To understand fungal networks, scientific viewpoints need to create space for mutualism. Our article for day 3 of #TreesAreTheKey explores how a gift-giving mindset can lead to greater change.

For day 2 of #TreesAreTheKey we’ve been looking at how essential trees are. As well as their ecological importance, they play a big role culturally: from the Bodhi tree in Buddhism to Newton’s apple! Read our latest article to learn about trees in literature!

It’s day 2 of #TreesAreTheKey. Trees are ecological and cultural keystones: they provide habitats and resources, are central to mythologies, and absorb up to a ton of CO2!
Our work is fighting the global impact of deforestation: visit our website, plant a tree.

A tree’s roots can be up to a fifth of their whole weight. On Day 1 of our #TreesAreTheKey Awareness Week 2026 we’ve decided to take a look back at our own roots: from planting trees to education and empowerment. Visit our website to read more!
