What if the impact of your efforts to save the planet and plant trees could be seen from space? How exciting would that be?

The program, called Farmer Managed Forest Regeneration, has been responsible for growing 200 million trees and reforeston 6 million hectares- about the size of Tasmania.

Tony has received many awards for his work, including as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM). He is a special guest on EarthChat this week, talking to Tim Budge about his work across many countries and the importance of trees for the whole planet.
