Trees and Us: How We Care for Trees
This week on the farm, we’ll explore the questions:
- Why do we care about trees, and why they are they important to us?
- What is our role in caring for trees around us?”

Forest Friends
Do you like to climb trees? How about jumping in a pile of leaves? How do you feel on a really hot day when you can go under the shade of a tree? What are your favorite things about trees?
Even though you may not own or live next to a forest, you can still be a forest friend. You are a forest friend when you choose to use products from renewable resources. You are a forest friend when you recycle wood and paper products. You are a forest friend when you keep the forest beautiful by not littering. You are a forest friend when you don’t damage plants and trees unnecessarily. Someday you might have a forest of your own. You will be a forest friend when you plan for and choose to do things in your forest that keep it healthy and productive for plants, wildlife, and people. You can be a friend to trees in your own yard, schoolyard, and park! https://extension.psu.edu/from-the-woods-forest-stewardship
