When thinking about planting redwoods and sequoias, many people get excited about the long-term benefits the trees will have on future generations. Science is showing us, however, that the positive effects of planting trees might not have to wait decades or centuries to show up. People who are spending time with the trees today are already being changed by them. 

According to a recent New York Times article, at least 3 major scientific studies published in the last 5 years have illuminated just how powerful green spaces can be for restoring focus, memory, and healthy brain function in an ever-bustling world that demands more and more of our cognitive attention to keep pace.

That means: On top of their already long-lasting carbon sequestration powers and ability to secure more economic and ecological security for the Northwest, the redwoods and sequoias can literally help us as human beings to function. Building a greener world is not just a gift to the planet, but also to the people working to make it a better one.
