Trees are essential to human survival. If there were no plants on earth, we would already be surrounded by harmful gases that would make life impossible. I firmly believe that trees are incredibly important to people.

Looking back at the legends of early man, we see that our ancestors gathered herbs from trees for healing and always sought rest under the shade of large trees. Trees also provide shelter to wild animals and birds, making them vital to the entire ecosystem.

We were placed on this earth to protect God’s creation. Caring for trees is therefore our divine responsibility. When we nurture trees, we are protecting all life that depends on them.

Genesis 1:12:
“The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.”
