Why do we need trees? (Even after experiencing, first hand, after a challenging winter-weather season, a tree falling on and totaling our vehicle, we still appreciate the trees.) Research has shown that trees help people on an individual basis. Among various health benefits, being surrounded by trees can reduce stress, lower blood pressure and boost a person’s mood, give a jolt to the immune system, and enhance sleep quality. Although forests are a good place to get these health perks, parks in urban and suburban areas will also do the trick. What is Arbor Day? See fun facts here: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news... "Imagine if trees gave off wifi signals...we would be planting so many trees that we would probably save the planet as well. Too bad trees only produce the oxygen we breath."
