Throwing a party is often how we bring people together and build community, which is essential for human well-being. Trees may not throw parties, but they are still important community members that support wildlife and humans alike.
A native tree is any tree that has naturally occurred in your region for hundreds or thousands of years. Native trees, in particular, support native wildlife species by providing food, cover, and places to raise young. Birds use snags to build nests, large mammals enjoy delicious fruits, and even fungi and bacteria break down the wood of fallen trees, which provides the ideal environment for new trees to grow.
Native trees also support us by enhancing environmental quality through climate change mitigation and removal of harmful pollution from the air and water. They even aid in economic development by increasing property values and can impact our moods by reducing stress and imparting a sense of well-being.
