Benefits of trees

When you plant a tree you are doing more than just planting a tree. You are also creating habitat for other species, starting a food source for humans and animals, providing carbon sinks to extract one of the major greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, stabilizing the soil to prevent erosion, creating natural water filters, and much more.
