Trees are of importance not only to man but also to birds and animals. The branches of trees
give shelter to millions of birds and forest give shelter to numerous wild animals. We value
trees not only for their usefulness but also for their beauty. They have a way to refreshing the
eye and also refreshing the mind. Perhaps that is why the rishis of olden days were drawn to
the forests, and they and their people chose to go to the forest homes in company of Nature.
In modern times when Rabindranath Tagore started a school, he too chose a place full of
trees and called it Shanti Niketan or the home of peace.
Once upon a time large areas of India were covered with forests full of numerous kinds of
trees. As the population grew, trees began to be cut down for man’s use. That is how the
wonderful forest described in our ancient poems came to be destroyed, and a great part of
our forest wealth was lost. Now we are trying to replace this loss, and our government wants
trees to be planted all over the country. A new festival called ‘Van Mahotsava’ has been
started for this purpose. Since trees are the country’s wealth we must consider it our sacred
duty to protect them. We should plant new trees wherever we can and look after them well.
