VALUE OF TREES.

 

          Trees are an integral part of our environment. Both man and the animals cannot live without trees. A tree serves us in many ways. We get fruits, timber, and medicine from the trees. Trees provide us shelter. We get the most needed rain because of the trees. Trees beautify our environment. They stop the soil erosion too. Trees are useful not only to human beings but also to animals. Birds build their nests on trees. 🌳

        🍀 We know that the main cause of the drought is the cutting down of trees. When we cut down trees, water fountains run dry. 🌵

        🍀 Most people have not realized the value of trees. The illegal felling of trees is very common today. It is true that sometimes we need to cut down trees. But we must plant another tree in that place. It takes only one or two hours to cut down a big tree. But it takes several years to grow a tree. 🌿

        🌾 The forest cover in Sri Lanka has been reduced to 20% today. Even the forest reserves that are protected by the government are destroyed by certain money-minded persons. 🌻

        🍃 Trees can be regarded as a gift of nature to man and animals. Therefore we should preserve them forever. If we cut down trees in this manner, our country will become a desert before long. 🍂

🌵 Let's save the trees that save us.🌴
