BENEFITS OF TREES

image Every year thousands and thousands of TREES are being cut for our jhum cultivation (cultivation in hilly areas). Are we really aware of the  consequences about to come next due to deforestation? Are we thinking about the future of our next generation? No, we aren’t. Cultivation is the most prioritized source for survival and it is not an error too because we don’t have any other choices. But not restoring the environment which we are destroying day by day is the biggest mistake for us and our future generations. To restore it we need to plant more and more TREES all around our localities. Please we the team-CRDP(CHAKMA RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT) invite and request you all to join us in this wholesome deed. Let’s come together and do it together for our planet where we are living and lived. Save TREES save planet. Following are the benifits we can get from trees: image Benefits of Trees The benefits that trees provide from social, communal, environmental, and economic perspectives. Most trees and shrubs in cities or communities are planted to provide beauty or shade. While these are excellent benefits, woody plants serve many other purposes. The benefits of trees can be grouped into social, communal, environmental, and economic categories. Social Benefits image Human response to trees goes well beyond simply observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, rest- ful, and tranquil in a grove of trees. We are “at home” there. The calming effect of nearby trees and urban greening can significantly reduce workplace stress levels and fatigue, calm traffic, and even decrease the recovery time needed after surgery. Trees can also reduce crime. Apartment buildings with high levels of greenspace have lower crime rates than nearby apart- ments without trees. The stature, strength, and endurance of trees give them a cathedral-like quality. Because of their poten- tial for long life, trees are frequently planted as living memorials. We often become personally attached to trees that we, or those we love, have planted. The strong tie between people and trees is often evident when community residents speak out against the removal of trees to widen streets or rally to save a particularly large or historic tree.

Communal Benefits

Even when located on a private lot, the benefits provided by trees can reach well out into the surrounding community. Likewise, large- growing trees can come in conflict with utilities, views, and structures that are beyond the bounds of the owner’s property. With proper selection and maintenance, trees can enhance and function on one property without infringing on the rights and privileges of neighbors. City trees often serve several architectural and engineering functions. They provide privacy, emphasize views, or screen out objectionable views. They reduce glare and reflection. They direct pedestrian traffic. Trees also provide background to and soften, complement, or enhance architecture. Trees bring natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban surroundings, all of which increase the quality of life for residents of the community.

Environmental Benefits image Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating climate, improving air quality, reducing stormwater runoff, and harboring wildlife. Local climates are moderated from extreme 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. The larger the tree, the greater the cooling effect. By using trees in the cities, we can moderate the heat-island effect caused by pave- ment and buildings in commercial areas.
