The suffering of trees always saddens me, we owe them so much.
Recently the plight of trees has been brought into focus due mainly to climate change, air pollution and the consequences of a reduction in tree numbers in some areas due to logging.

Trees produce oxygen and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, they help to create beautiful natural green environments, they can provide a natural sustainable source of material for multiple uses and finally they are good for the soul.

Walking in a forest of trees embraces our thoughts and feelings with its scents, colours, stillness and magnificent beauty. It makes us feel glad to be alive and helps us to forget the pressures of modern living.

Unfortunately in modern times we tend to forget these benefits and distant ourselves from nature. As a consequence trees have become under valued and their importance neglected. To overcome this problem we must reverse this recent trend and learn to greatly love and value our trees.

As well as being important in man’s early development, trees must be highly respected for our future !
