Olympian gold medalist Bronte Campbell is reconnecting with nature as she takes part in Wide World Fund’s ‘we all need trees’ campaign.

Previously, researchers found a street in Toongabie that had more trees sat at 29.3 degrees Celsius compared to an unshaded street that reached 50.1 degrees celsius.

The WWF for Nature-Australia and the DEA released a joint report that highlighted trees are beneficial for our health and also decrease the temperatures by 20 degrees.

Bronte Campbell told Joe Hildebrand that trees are really important for people’s health and that is why she is getting involved with the campaign.
