- Water Protection- Forests contribute to the healthy drinking water for over 160 million Americans. Trees filter rainwater and snowmelt. They prevent fresh-water lakes and reservoirs from being contaminated by mud, ash and silt.
- Clean Air- plant life absorbs carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, and emits oxygen. Trees are second only to the oceans in their ability to clean the air. All people who breathe have a vested interest in replanted forests devastated by fires.
- Fighting Invasives- it is important to replant following forest fires to keep invasive, fire-prone brush from taking over. Failure to replant can lead to an endless cycle of forest fires fueled by unnatural concentrations of invasive brush.
- Protecting Wildlife -- the number of species that rely directly and indirectly on healthy forests is astounding. Who can help but feel terrible when news stories feature tales of orphaned raccoons and deer. But important insects and birds feel the impact just as much. Short of preventing fires in the first place, reforesting a devastated area is one of the most humane activities we can perform.
- Rain Forest Rescue- beautiful and life-sustaining, rain forests have provided man with many medicines to treat disease. For instance, there are over 3,000 plants that fight cancer, and 2,100 of these are found only in rain forests. Tropical rain forests are very vulnerable due their soil, which is usually poor and thin. Plants, not soil, store the life-nourishing nutrients that keep rain forests from becoming wastelands.
- Passing on the Heritage- what will our children think of us if we let the forests die out? Replanting is necessary to prevent the swift degradation of our natural habitat, and to ensure that future generations get to enjoy the wilderness as much as we do.
As you can see, there are many reasons to plant a tree. Not just for mothers day flowers, but rather for real environmental reasons. So if you can't get out there to replant one of your own, why not write a check to an organization in your state that participates in this worthy endeavor.
