Do you have a tree in the garden, street or park outside your office? If so, why not go out on a limb and decorate this tree for National Tree Dressing Day on December 6 and 7 (yes, that\u2019s actually two days, strangely enough!).<\/p>\n
All over the UK local councils, the National Trust, and many stately homes are getting involved in this celebration to show our appreciation of trees.<\/p>\n
Tree Dressing Day was launched because trees are so often taken for granted. Humans don\u2019t have a great track record for respecting trees. We cut them down, sometimes without a second thought, and many animals end up losing their habitat.<\/p>\n
When we lose trees, we end up losing oxygen too. A large tree can absorb up to three tonnes of carbon per year.<\/p>\n
The Tree Dressing Days will celebrate hundreds of ancient customs related to trees from all over the world. \u00a0 And there are lots of fun ways you can take part. \u00a0 Just take a look on the Internet to see what\u2019s going on in your area.<\/p>\n
You can dress trees with brightly coloured ribbons, shapes, lanterns or any other type of decoration that will make them stand out. Surf the net for ancient tree myths and stories as well of lots of ideas for celebrating the day.<\/p>\n
And don\u2019t forget to give your tree a big hug!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
