BENEFITS OF TREES.Most trees and shrubs in cities or communities areplanted to provide beauty or shade. These are twoexcellent reasons for their use. Woody plants alsoserve many other purposes and it often is helpful toconsider these other functions when selecting atree or shrub for the landscape. The benefits of

trees can be grouped into social communalenvironmental and economic categories.

COMMUNALBENEFITS OF TREES.Even though trees may be private property, their

size often makes them part of the community as

well. Because trees occupy considerable space,

planning is required if both you and your neighbors

are to benefit. With proper selection and

maintenance, trees can enhance and function on

one property without infringing on the rights and

privileges of neighbors.

SOCIAL BENEFITS OFTREES.We like trees around us because they make life more pleasant.

Most of us respond to the presence of trees beyond simply

observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, restful, andtranquil in a grove of trees. We are at home there. Hospital

patients have been shown to recover from surgery more

quickly when their hospital room offered a view of trees. The

strong ties between people and trees are most evident in the

resistance of community residents to removing trees to widen

streets. Or we note the heroic efforts of individuals and

organizations to save particularly large or historic trees in a

community.

ENVIRONMENTALBENEFITS OF TREES.

Trees alter the environment in which we live by moderating

climate, improving air quality, conserving water, and

harboring wildlife. Climate control is obtained by

moderating the effects of sun, wind, and rain. Radiant

energy from the sun is absorbed or deflected by leaves on

deciduous trees in the summer and is only filtered by

branches of deciduous trees in winter. We are cooler when

we stand in the shade of trees and are not exposed to

direct sunlight. In winter, we value the suns radiant

energy. Therefore, we should plant only small or deciduous

trees on the south side of homes.

in Bodh Gaya and is worshipped to this day
