Tree planting is perceived to be the most engaging, environmentally-friendly activity that people can take part in to make the planet a better place. For thousands of years, the earth has used trees to combat climate change. Life cannot exist without the presence of trees on the planet. They have long-term and short-term benefits as well. Most people decide to enhance their gardens with trees for their aesthetic beauty, connecting with nature, or for their calming effect. However, trees do more to the environment than we might think.
