We recognize one aspect of the importance of trees in this time of climate change—their role in keeping the natural world in balance by reducing carbon in the atmosphere. At the same time, forests are steadily disappearing, mostly due to our appetite for wood products, including wood as fuel, and our clearing them to make room for planting crops and grazing animals. Climate change also stresses trees and their habitats. We can play a mitigating role, though: we can help by planting the right trees in season as part of an ecosystem.
