What Are Some Benefits of Trees?
Oxygen
Trees produce oxygen and they provide home for many different species of wildlife. They act as a carbon sink. This means that they soak up the carbon dioxide that would otherwise float around in the atmosphere. 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions are linked back to a direct result of deforestation. In one year an acre of mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 18 people.

Tourism
Trees have a large impact on the amount of tourist that visit the designated rain forest or park. The higher abundance and assortment of trees within an area indicates the greater amount of wildlife. With more wildlife within an area, the more tourist wish to visit it; therefore, when there are a myriad of trees there is a higher chance for more tourist to come and visit the wildlife.

The less energy used for the air condition, the less carbon released into the atmosphere. Heating costs are also reduced by when a home has a windbreak. Lastly a home is worth more when it is surrounded by trees. Landscaped homes are worth more than non landscaped homes
