What’s a tree worth?

I dont know what a tree is worth to you, but I do know that trees are quite valuable in the landscape and with the benefits they provide.

Lay a blanket under a tree and have a picnic with your grandkids. Attach a hammock to two trees and take a lazy summer afternoon nap. Mount a bird house in a tree and watch the wildlife gather and harvest your bounty. Watch your 10 year old exclaim “I can climb the highest Dad!” as he climbs the tree higher than ever before. Sit in a rocker under the broad branches of an evergreen and rock your newborn to sleep.

Trees provide lots more benefits than just shade and  oxygen. They invite us into nature to live life outdoors.
