From the beginning of time trees have been essential for this earth and humans, they provide us with 2 special components and basic elements such as Oxygen and Food.

Trees provide is with additional necessities like shelter, medicine and tools, etc. 


These are 10 reasons why trees are important.
  1. They're beautiful.
  2. They provide a habitat for animals and birds.
  3. Homes and people get shade from the sun in the summer. 
  4. Homes get the energy benefit from the winter sun once the leaves fall from the trees. 
  5. Trees prevent soil erosion thanks to their root systems.
  6. Trees clean the air. Their leaves absorb nitrous oxides, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide and ground-level ozone, all of which contribute to air pollution. 
  7. Trees can also serve as a barrier from the wind which can really blow hard where we live.
  8. Trees can provide fruit which is incredibly delicious, and help you save money on groceries.
  9. Trees can provide a place for children to play.
  10. Trees increase property value.

Where Is The Tallest Tree In New York State?

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716

A naturalist in Mill Neck, NY says a tulip tree on Long Island stretches 167 feet into the sky. That would make it the tallest tree in New York State!

Environmentalist consultant Daniel Karpen arrived at the tree to measure it with a clinometer. The 100 year old tulip tree measured 34 inches in diameter.

Currently, the Native Tree Society reports that the tallest tree in New York State is a 158.3 foot white pine in Adirondack Park. The tallest recorded tulip tree is in Zoar Valley coming in 156 feet.

There are no official records kept on tree height!
