by Michael Smith (Veshengro) Many people, and, apparently, even most governments, seem to think that all that is needed to create a woodland is to stick some trees in the ground and the rest will do itself. Just planting trees and leaving them for Mother Nature to do its work is a waste of trees, money, time and effort and will lead to nothing but disaster. This brings in space and light allowing the other trees to better develop.

Have you ever made a purchase in your life by which you gave the green light for planting a tree? More often than not, however, the companies that embrace this duty to the environment are ones which use trees to make their products – namely, stationery and wooden products. For every item sold, a tree is planted. And I do mean young trees, as the company is not even three years old. Design design giving back trees wood

Many trees grow well when planted in fall, says arborist Tom Tyler of Bartlett Tree Experts. Although people often associate planting with spring, fall offers some advantages, he explains. "Warm soil encourages root growth prior to the onset of winter, while air temperatures tend to be cooler and more stable, reducing the amount of stress on newly planted trees. autumn gardening tips treesGive them the best chance of survival.

I used to think the answer was to plant more trees. Citizen Science That Speaks for the Trees. They call it an old-growth forest, but not all of the trees are old. Through natural processes like disease and fire over time some trees die leaving openings where young trees have a chance to grow. A healthy forest is a diverse mix of young and old trees, dead trees, and openings. Behind them you can see the densely packed trees. ©

In the faithful hopes of trying to make us aware of our environmental obligations, Trees4Life believes planting a tree is the first small step in being a green Muslim. As Muslims, we have an obligation to preserve the planet, and what better way than planting a tree.”

Turns out, the carbon savings from switching to biofuel – any biofuel – are totally swamped out by the carbon kept in the air by maintaining farmland to grow the biofuel feedstock instead of planting trees on the same land. An article in yesterday’s Science magazine throws more fuel on the fire, so to speak, of the carbon debate.

The holiday began as a “new year” for trees – a time when the tithing of fruits was determined. On Tu B’shvat 1890, a Rabbi took his students to plant trees in the agricultural colony of Zichron Yaakov. Besides numerous tree planting ceremonies, groups have publicized the holiday’s environmental significance. Trees provide a myriad number of “ecosystem services” in Israel. Thus, in addition to their ecological importance, trees are a symbol of renewal.

First we planted two organic papayas at Mike’s house in a corner of the yard that was unused.

Trees help give us oxygen! Naturally, with that nugget of information we choose to use trees not to give us oxygen, but to turn into toilet paper for, well you know. One of the greatest travesties of our current era is how little regard we seem to have for the trees. We know that Russia and Canada have 1/2 the world’s trees, yet they are the two worst countries on Earth for protecting trees. That expansion of humans means that more and more trees will die.
