There are many reasons why the world need trees, the biggest plants on our planet.

Trees give oxygen and they absorb carbon dioxide and gases that could be harmful. Trees can also lower temperatures by providing shade and they can reduce soil erosion. As well as all the ways they benefit us, trees also provide food and habitat for wildlife, including birds, reptiles, mammals and insects.

To celebrate trees and their importance in the region and the wine industry, Maclaren Vake has created a unique McLaren Vale tree trail where you will find interesting information on a variety of trees. So come and have a look at some of the 54 beautiful trees that compose the tree trails at participating Cellar Doors with more to be announced soon!
