For many, living among trees is a lifestyle. The same individuals love trees and immerse themselves in both urban and natural forests alike. Conversely, there are those who look at trees as a costly nuisance and source of anxiety.
The benefits of trees are many; They produce oxygen, they clean the air and provide energy savings. Additionally, studies have shown that trees can positively affect our quality of life as well. To be specific, the presence of trees have been found to reduce blood pressure, decrease anxiety levels and alleviate symptoms of depression.
Although the benefits of trees abound, there is a cost associated with stewardship. To further explain, standing trees inherently possess some level of risk and in order to live among them they require maintenance to reduce the likelihood of limb, stem or whole tree failure. Even in providing the utmost care, trees still can fail as they are living things subject to increasingly severe natural forces.
All things considered, the benefits of trees pale in comparison to the cost and it’s our responsibility to be good stewards of this incredible resource.
