19. OTHER BENEFITS FROM TREES

20. Trees provide shade and fresh air
around the house, along the
streets, and surroundings. They
are very much needed by people
as we experience climate change.

21. Trees protect the soil from
erosion. Their roots hold the
soil, preventing it from eroding
during heavy rains and floods.

22. They help maintain high quality
water supply. The roots of
plants and trees help strain the
dirt and cleanse the water as it
passes through it.

23. The root system of the tree
promotes soil stability. This
means that the soil held by the
roots remain there and do not
erode.

24. Trees serve as valuable
wildlife habitats. Wild animals
live in places with many trees
like that of the forest.

25. Trees serve as windbreakers
during typhoons and storms,
thus, reducing damages of
houses, buildings and
agricultural crops.

26. They help reduce pollution in
congested urban areas.
Remember that trees take in
carbon dioxide emitted from
vehicles and factories. The more
trees present, the less amount of
carbon dioxide is in the air.

27. Trees contribute to the beautiful
landscapes in the city and
countryside. A land with plenty of
trees, grasses and flowers of
different colors gives a refreshing
sight.

28. Trees prevent river and lake
sedimentation by preventing soil
erosion. With the presence of
plant roots, the land is not
exposed to direct rainfall that
causes soil runoff towards bodies
of water.

29. Planting trees can be a great
recreational activity for
families. Trees can also
provide income.
