Trees are our earliest neighbours and best friends.

In true sense trees are

our real neighbour, Trees are of tremendous value to us. They give us
oxygen & without this oxygen we cannot imagine the existence of
Lively Earth or life. Trees are an important part of the Biosphere that
exists on earth. They provide shade to men and animals. Trees are home
to numerous birds, insects and animals.
They prevent drought and cause rainfall. They help in checking
environmental pollution like, air pollution, soil pollution etc. & trees
also are a natural medium to prevent soil erosion. They give us oxygen
to breathe in and absorb the carbon dioxide. So, we should promote
forestation.
Wood is the most valuable product that trees give us. We use wood in
many ways. Wood is used as fuel and firewood. Wood is used to make
furniture. Trees are good sources of medicinal herbs, lace and raw
materials for many industries. We get resins, natural gums, etc. from the
trees. Trees help in maintaining the fertility of soil. They maintain
ecological balance. They help in cleaning environment.
Not only trees provide essential things, they also add to the natural
beauty.
Unfortunately, trees are being cut indiscriminately. Rapid
industrialization, urbanization and population growth have contributed
to the loss of trees. In this way we have done great loss to ourselves. So,
in every year on the occasion of World Planting Day we should promise
to plant at least one tree for ourselves.
It is the crying need of the hour to plant more and more trees. Trees are
valuable natural resource. We should conserve them. We should promote
afforestation. This is good for larger benefit of society.
