The Power of Trees

 

 

The forest in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park Sept 2021

 “Finland is officially the world’s happiest country. It is also 75 per cent forest. I believe these facts are related.”― Matt Haig

 "A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people."  ― Franklin D. Roosevelt


I have studied with many teachers and all of them sing the praises of the trees!  As the quotes above show, trees are very important to the health of Earth and therefore, very important to the humans on Earth (and all the animals, birds, insects, fish, and reptiles).  

The trees clean the air, hold the earth, provide shelter from the wind, and provide food for many birds, animals and humans.  They even provide the fuel for fire and the lumber for our homes and for other buildings.  

If you have a list of goal that you make for each year, please put on your list that you will plant at least one tree in 2022.  We need to replace our trees that are no longer to help keep the planet alive.

Blessings.
