Woods of the future

Woods of the future | 100 Acre Wood | Scoop.it
“Trees can be objects of great beauty, as well as serving very valuable purposes and functions. Why is it then that we have come to see trees in this country as either a weed that has to be removed, or a hazard, or just as a source of revenue?

Conversely some see trees are considered as being irreplaceable, deserving rigid protection at all costs and not to be touched.

We used to rely heavily on trees and the timber that trees provide. We had a high regard and respect for them, even though we cut them down and turned them into beautiful and functional objects.

But we have more recently and sadly taken them for granted. Now we are losing them, due to disease and neglect. We must change the overall attitude and feelings toward trees.

How introducing children to gardening helps to educate them about the environment and those that live within it.

 

Getting kids involved in wildlife gardening has many educational benefits. They’ll get to understand issues of key importance such as global warming and climate change which will have a major impact upon their future and will teach them other useful transferable skills which they can use in other areas throughout both their childhood and later in life.
