Environmental Report on the Value of Trees Trees play a significant part in our community and to our local wildlife as they improve and provide a number of important environmental benefits. They provide better air quality for us by filtering the airborne pollutants and by removing the atmospheric carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and places with cleaner air (places with more trees) extend people’s life force by months or even years. This impacts the organisms by contributing to the carbon cycle

Millions of years before animals lived on land; there were trees on the Earth. But today trees are in serious danger. Everybody knows that trees produce oxygen that we breathe and take carbon dioxide that we exhale that is why trees called the lungs of our world. As man cannot live without lungs‚ so and world cannot exist without trees. Factories‚ power stations and cars emit tons of smoke into the air. This smoke contains sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. These substances mix with water vapor

Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate‚ improving air quality‚ conserving water‚ and harboring wildlife. Climate control is obtained by moderating the effects of sun‚ wind‚ and rain. Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves on deciduous trees in the summer and is only filtered by branches of deciduous trees in winter. We are cooler when we stand in the shade of trees and are not exposed to direct sunlight. In winter‚ we value the sun’s radiant energy

Trees occupy an important place in the life of man. The trees provide us flowers‚ fruits‚ fodder for animals‚ wood for fire and furniture and provide cool shadow from scorching sun. They give us so many such good things and yet expect nothing in return. Trees give us fruits for food and flowers for pleasure. They provide us timber (wood) for building our houses and making furniture. They provide us wood for fuel. They supply sleepers for the railway line. Many trees provide us medicinal products

trees are the largest and the longest living organisms on earth. To grow tall‚ the trees display miraculous feats of engineering and a complex chemical factory. It has the ability to absorb water and salts from the earth and transport them up to the leaves‚ sometimes over 400ft above. By means of photosynthesis‚ the leaves then combine the water and salts with carbon dioxide from the air to produce the nutrients‚ which serve as food for the tree. In this process‚ trees create wood‚ as well as many
