Why Plant a Tree

Planting trees has a number of benefits. Trees help to reduce air pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide, and they also help to create a cooler environment by providing shade. Trees are also great for providing habitat for birds and other wildlife, and they can be used to reduce the risk of flooding by intercepting rainfall. Planting trees can have a positive effect on property values. Trees can also help reduce energy costs by providing shade and wind protection. Lastly, trees help to reduce stress and create a sense of well-being by providing a beautiful, calming environment.  

The best time to plant a tree depends on the species of tree you are planting and the climate of the area you are growing in. Spring and fall are great times to plant. Generally, in spring the soil is moist and the temperatures are warm. In fall the soil is still warm, and the cool temperatures help with root growth. 

  It is essential that you select a tree that will thrive in the conditions provided at the planting site.                            Some trees prefer full sun, while others will flourish in areas which receive only filtered sunlight. Some trees require protection from wind and cold while many trees will withstand harsh conditions and exposure to the elements. Soil characteristics and drainage requirements of specific trees may also be a determining factor in the selection process. It is important that you select only those trees which are recommended for the part of the country in which you live.
