Giants On Cloudforest 1

Cloudforest One has just had its first Giant planted right beside our famous Burren Pine. We cannot wait to see this tree appear on our Livestream over the next few years and reach skywards.

The giant redwood, also known as the coastal redwood or Sequoia sempervirens, is one of the most majestic trees in the world. These towering trees can grow up to 379 feet tall and can have a trunk diameter of up to 29 feet. But did you know that these giants are also champions of carbon sequestration?

Carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This is important because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. The giant redwood is one of the most efficient carbon sequestering trees in the world. It can absorb up to 900 kgs of carbon dioxide per year, which is more than any other tree species.

The giant redwood's ability to sequester carbon is due to its size and longevity. These trees can live for over 2,000 years and can grow to be over 2,000 tons in weight. As they grow, they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in their trunks, branches, and leaves.

Finally , the giant redwood is not only a symbol of natural beauty but also a champion of carbon sequestration. Its ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide is critical to mitigating the effects of climate change. It's essential that we work to protect these trees and the ecosystems they support to ensure a sustainable future for our planet.
