Plant a Tree -

September 17, 2021 / Mental Health / Comments Off

Driving around town, it fascinates me to see which areas have trees. It seems that more prosperous areas have more and bigger trees. In the summer, driving under a canopy of trees is so much cooler – and more beautiful – than in a tree desert.

Commitment and care are necessary to have trees in our neighborhoods. (I feel sad when people tell me they don’t want to bother.)

Did you know …

Trees benefit us psychologically and physically. As the largest living beings, they are essential for a healthy environment.
The Heartland Tree Alliance will plant a tree free of charge. Trees are also available from the Arbor Day Foundation for a minimal donation.
Trees can increase the value of your property up to 20%!

To see more of the benefits trees provide us, check out the Heartland Tree Alliance website.

Please plant a tree.
