Why are trees so important to You ?
Mature trees are one of the primary ways to stop Global Warming. They create ecosystems and absorb carbon dioxide and potentially harmful gasses, such as sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide from the air and release oxygen. One large tree can supply a day's supply of oxygen for four people.
Trees provide shade and cool homes and the environment. They protect our infrastructure with the thousands of gallons of water they absorb. They provide habitat and food for birds and other animals and also cool and stabilize the soil
The benefit of trees is not limited to British Columbia’s wilderness. Urban Forests are just as important because a walk in an urban forest provides just as many health benefits as walking in a countryside forest.
Fewer trees means larger amounts of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere-and increased speed and severity of global warming. Unfortunately these facts seem lost on Municipal Councils who, more often than not, chose development over tree preservation.
