these creations are and how well they can help our children and us, so it is essential to understand
the benefits of planting trees in schools so that we stay happy, healthy and surrounded by our earth’s
gorgeous plants and trees. My purpose today is to tell you what people could do in the world of
nature that surrounds us.

how expensive trees can be and to inform them of what some of the real costs are)
B. As a conductor of thunder and storm (Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens, Dec 20, 2017, The
huge storms many Australians have experienced recently have damaged or toppled old trees
which had withstood the vagaries of our weather for the past century or more)
C. Will wreak havoc above and below ground

MEMORABLE CONCLUDING REMARKS

Therefore, we conclude that trees should be regularly planted to save the mankind and the animal
world. Tree plantation and its after-care is a pleasing work too. We can get much pleasure in planting
trees and in taking care of them. Students should plant trees in their school-compounds and in the
front-yards, backyards and side-yards of their schools and near their own houses and in other places
wherever possible. We should consider the fact that we all need trees and trees are important to us
humans. Save them and they will save us in return.
