It is the responsibility of TFC to generate funding for materials and resources from businesses, organisations and grants. Trees are very useful in helping to reverse the Green House Effect. Trees extract the carbon dioxide from the air, separate out the carbon and store it, then releasing the oxygen back into the air. With the large-scale removal of trees, there are not enough trees left for this process and this leads to a build up of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere. Trees are important for providing shelter from wind, for privacy, as a habitat for wildlife, by helping to control erosion on hillsides and banks, and by helping to retain moisture during dry periods.
All plants are great for keeping nature in balance .
