Trees are very essential in our life. Trees give us oxygen from which we breathe. Without oxygen, all living-beings are not able to survive. While this is not the only reason, trees are important to us. They do a lot for the environment as well as living beings. Trees absorb harmful gasses and help to reduce the air pollution .Trees stop soil erosion by holding the soil with the root. This prevents landslides and flooding.

Trees also provide shelter for many animals. Many wild animals live in dense forests. Wood from trees is used to build houses for human-beings and it is also used to make a lot of wooden furniture for a comfortable life.

Many trees give fruits, they serve birds and animals. There are many fruit trees, like mango tree, apple tree, avocado tree etc. The leaves of the trees, roots and bark are used to make herbal medicine.

Trees also make the environment calm and peaceful. People do lots of outdoor activities in a park where there are plants, trees and flowers.

Thus, trees are very important in our lives for maintaining the environment and making life possible on the earth.
