Trees provide many important benefits to humans and the environment. They serve as sources of food, lumber for shelter and construction, fuel, raw materials for paper and other products, herbal medicines, perfume ingredients, natural dyes, and help protect the environment by reducing erosion, recycling nutrients, minimizing winds, and reducing global warming. Fruit trees specifically contribute nutrients through their fruits and aromatic parts can be used to make perfumes.
