Trees are big and old and beautiful.he beauty of trees is in their size, shape, and texture, and in the details of leaves, flowers, fruits, and bark. They change with the seasons, and we can enjoy watching them grow over our lifetimes and know that they will be there after us. Children grow up playing in and around trees, and can watch them grow as they grow. Because they are bigger than we are, and live longer, trees can be landmarks in space and time, giving us a sense of continuity, a connection with the past and the future. For many people trees give a sense of proportion, putting day-to-day worries into perspective. Trees are good for our health, and the health of the planet.
