What are the best trees for climate resilience?

Some of the best trees for climate resilience include native species like oak, maple, and pine. They adapt well to changing conditions.

Why are native trees better for climate resilience?

Native trees are better because they are adapted to local climates, support local wildlife, and require less water and maintenance.

Can you suggest some specific species?

Sure! For temperate regions, consider the Eastern Red Cedar, Sugar Maple, and White Oak. In warmer areas, look at the Live Oak and Ponderosa Pine.

How can I plant these trees to maximize their resilience?

To maximize resilience, plant them in well-drained soil, ensure proper spacing for growth, and consider their sunlight and water needs.

Are there any resources for learning more about tree planting?

Yes! The Arbor Day Foundation and local extension services offer great resources on tree planting and care.
