Forest Preservation

“God has cared for these trees saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods.  But he cannot save them from fools.”  John Muir’s words are just as true now as when he spoke them.  Trees are important.  I hope this blog’s been making that clear.  We need to care about all trees not just the ones in the South American rain forest.

Deforestation means any removal of trees without replanting them.  What is your house sitting on?  Was a forest destroyed so your house could be built?  Was it farm land?  Look around you.  The green is disappearing.

A perfectly manicured law is not enough.  Trees are important.  They cool the land.  They take our exhaled carbon dioxide and make it into the oxygen we inhale.  They are homes for squirrels, birds, chipmunks, and bugs.

So it’s important to plant a tree where ever and whenever you can.  Look around your lot there has to be a place where you can plant a tree.  Landscape designers can help you decide which tree you have space for.  Make sure to call the utility location service in your area before you start to dig.  Trust me it will be worth the hassle.

Pack out what you pack in.
