 How does the Wollemi Pine help to offset carbon footprint?Planting trees is one of the easiest ways to offset your carbon footprint and become carbon neutral.
Trees absorb carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and wood. Trees can sequester (i.e. absorb) the atmospheric carbon as part of the process of photosynthesis, which enables them to grow.
Through this process, carbon dioxide is converted into stored carbon, and this is why trees are sometimes referred to as ‘carbon sinks’. By taking this carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, trees clean the air. More Info... |

 Kernock Park Plants Present Cheque to Royal Botanical Gardens KewA cheque for over £21,000 was presented to Professor Stephen Hopper, Director of RBG Kew at The Chelsea Flower Show in May.
The money was a contribution from Kernock Park Plants for the part that Kew played in the initial launch of the Wollemi Pine in 2006. It is understood that the sum has already been earmarked by RBG Kew for conservation work.
Richard Harnett, proprietor of Kernock Park Plants, seen in the photograph presenting the cheque to Prof Hopper with Tony Kirkham, Head of Arboretum at Kew, said "The introduction of this extraordinary plant to the general public is an example of how sales of the tree can achieve excellent results for conservation and will hopefully be a blue print for the future. We are delighted to have this strong link with Kew". |

 Wollemi Pine Web Log (Blog)As the first trees are due to be despatched to the customers that have ordered the 3 litre trees during week commencing 11th September we thought that it would be a good time to set up a Wollemi Pine Web Log
