The Benefits of Trees

Have you ever noticed, when you are outside, how far sounds travels this time of year? It’s because the deciduous trees have lost their leaves and are no longer acting as sound dampeners. There are many benefits provided by trees, most of which we take for granted. Trees provide shade in the summer and warmth (through firewood, pellets or increased sun exposure) in the winter. Evergreen trees make a great wind-break in the winter as well as protection for birds and animals. Trees provide us with the very air that we breathe, and they absorb carbon dioxide in the process. They give us lumber to build our homes as well as fruit and nuts for sustenance. The list goes on and on. It’s hard to imagine a world without trees. I’m not sure the earth could survive without trees. Luckily, we don’t need to worry about that as Mother Nature is constantly trying to re-vegetate any open space. I’ve noticed that it happens regardless of the economy or other outside factors. And, that is job security for people like us here at Q-Team.
