Hug a Tree

Now you know a little more about trees. The nicer you are to trees, the easier it is for them to be nice to you. How can you be nice to a tree?

If you have room at your house, plant a tree, but do not plant a tree unless you are willing to take care of it.
If there's a street tree near your house that no one seems to be taking care of, you can water it too.
Wait for a tree to grow up before you climb on it. Young trees are not strong enough to bear your weight.
Don't break branches off living trees. They hold up the leaves and trees need all their leaves for making food.
When you have a little time on your hands, hug a tree. Trees are people's friends!
