Trees are very vital for humans, animals, and plants. They are the source of drinking water, air to breathe, shade, and food, among many others. It is important to plant and nurture trees. Life without trees will be impossible. It is believed that reforestation is 10% tree plantation and the rest 90% lies on nurturing. In other words, the survival rate of trees after planting without care is less. So, nurturing trees is very important.
