National Love A Tree Day comes on May 16th, right in the middle of Garden for Wildlife Month, That makes sense as trees not only provide food and shelter for birds and other animals.
As a matter of fact, trees are some of the most important plants on the planet and humanity’s very existence depends on their continued well-being. They provide us with lumber, nuts, fruit, shade, and shelter. In addition, they produce oxygen for us to breathe and help to absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. So, we should give them the attention that they deserve, today and everyday.

By the way, trees are not a taxonomic group but include a variety of plant species that have independently evolved a trunk and branches seemingly as a way to stand above other plants to compete for sunlight.
