'How important is it to Plant more trees?'

Tree planting is a good solution to tackle climate change and protect biodiversity but planting trees in the wrong place can do more harm than good, experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew have explained. Scientists have outlined 10 rules for tree-planting, which they say must be a top priority for all nations this decade.

Things to talk about at home…

• Talk about what you already know about trees? Do you know about different types and what we need them for?
• Are there many trees near where you live?
• Scientists have said that it is important that places where new trees are planted need to be carefully planned, why do you think this may be the case?
