Trees are a precious and costly resource.
Unfortunately, many of our forests have been 
clear-cut to build homes, create paper products, 
and provide fuel. We need trees to breathe. 
Trees can protect our homes and prevent soil 
erosion and flooding. Many types of animals and 
insects use trees as their homes. 
Trees can provide food, shelter, and clean air. 
Planting a tree can benefit many beings.
