trees benefit everyone

I often hear from builders and people that put on additions "the trees are going to have to go to make way for the house". I say, create a smaller house and keep the trees....call me a tree hugger, I've been called worse.

Trees, especially these large 50 year old Oak trees provide countless benefits. If you're unsure of the benefits that trees give to us check out what the Heartland Tree Alliance says about tree benefits.

Center for Urban Forest Research is also a good source. As well as Tree Link.

If the trees in our neighborhood are a big concern to you (they should be to all of us) and you are looking for a way to get involved please contact me at www.traybella@hotmail.com
