Darien Library, along with Darien Nature Center and Darien Land Trust welcome Juliet Cain and Meaghan Hetherington for an important discussion on the “Power of Trees.” — an announcement from Darien Library
Do you know how much trees contribute to your daily life? Any elementary student can tell you that through a chemical reaction known as photosynthesis trees produce and release oxygen, an essential element for all living things. However, trees do much more than produce oxygen and beautify our landscapes. They also remove tons of climate-warming carbon dioxide and other harmful gases from the air we breathe, they cool the earth’s air and surface temperatures, and they provide food and habitats for thousands of animal species and other wildlife.
