Everyone knows that trees are a vital weapon in our fight against rapid climate change. Trees take carbon from our atmosphere and lock it away in their trunks, branches and leaves. Many consider a tree in a storm as a metaphor for healing from trauma, winning a battle and even an eternal saviour. After all, a tree in a storm has two options: withstand the storm by holding on with roots and sway in the wind using its flexibility or allow the storm to uproot it from the ground to provide deadwood - a nutrient-rich habitat for fungi, a nursery for beetle larvae and a larder for insectivorous birds and other animals.

In the world today, the storm clouds may be moving more unpredictably, and yet these giants of literature, and buttresses against the storm, continue to cool local climates, prevent flood damage and shelter and feed the natural world they oversee. These mighty trees possess roots that penetrate deep into the soil to find water. Emma’s design features this enduring symbol of strength, where roots anchor trees down in a storm, to provide a place animals can shelter peacefully underground or in their hollows whilst the wind batters the canopy above.
