TREE PLANTATION

Since the dawn of civilization man has a close relation with nature. Man has made friendship with nature. Nature helps us in many ways. Similarly trees are closely related with our life. They are our friends. Trees play an important role in our life and economy.

Bangladesh is a lower riparian country. Upper levels are the best suitable places to plant trees. Sea beaches and low-lying unused lands can be used for tree plantation. There are many roads and highway in our country. We can plant trees on the both sides of these roads and highway. Again in the villages there are many proper places which can be used for tree plantation. The sides and areas that are lying unused can be used too.

June and julay are the best time for tree plantation. Tree plantation programme should be expanded to the remote corner of the country. The officers connected with this programme should take proper steps and needful measures to make it a success. They should try to make it popular all over country. They should come forward with there best knowledge. Most of the people of our village are illiterate. They have no knowledge about the importance of trees. Attempt should be made them aware of the importance of trees.

Tree are our best friends. They are a great source of food and vitamins. There are various kinds of fruit trees. They give us various kinds of fruits which are rich in food value and vitamin. They meet up our local demands. They also meet up our vitamin deficiency. As a result people can keep their body fit and sound by taking fruits. Again we export fruits to many other countries and earn a lot of foreign exchange.

Trees are our constant companies in our day to life. We use them for various purposes. We can not think of our homes, house, Residence etc, without trees. We use trees to make furniture, windows, doors for our domestic use. Again valuable furniture is made from these trees. We sell some pieces of valuable furniture to foreign countries. Thus trees add beauty to our dwelling places.

Trees bear a great impact on the climate. If we destroy trees at random, one day the country will turn into a great desert. The country will bear the will face a great crisis because ours is an agriculture is country and our economy is dependent on agriculture. Again our agriculture is dependent on rain. So trees play a vital role on our climate. Trees keep the soil strong. Trees save from flood and many other natural calamities.

It is needless to speak the importance of trees. It is not possible to describe the importance and uses of trees in words. They are part and parcel in our day to day life. We can not think of our existence without them. Rabindranath says ‘back thy forest, take your town. “Our government has also launched a massive and ambitious programme regarding tree plantation. We should not use and destroy trees at random. Rather we should plant trees more and for a better happier and healthier life.
