Tree plantation

“Give back the forest, take your town”, says Rabindranath Tagore. By these lines he tries to convince us  about the importance of trees. Tree plantation means planting trees more and. It is not possible to lead a happy and peaceful life without trees.

Land in the upper valley of a river are more suitable for the growth and development of forest. But Bangladesh is a lower riparian country. For this reason, we have no rich forest resources. Our forest resources constitute with the forest of Bhawal, Madhupur, Chittagong Hill Tracts and famous Sundarbans.

Some people inconsiderately cut down trees everywhere. They do not think that the destruction of forests can destroy the environmental system. For this, Bangladesh is going to be turned into a desert. At this, we may face problems of flood, soil erosion, drought etc. It is a great threat to our environment.

Trees play an important role in our daily life. In order to live we need oxygen. Trees give us that oxygen. They give us foods and fruits. They also provide us shelter. We get timber from trees and without timber we cannot make our houses, furnitures, boats, launches, ships etc. If trees are planted on the banks of rivers and sea-shores, soil, erosion can be prevented. They also prevent air pollution. Trees protect the country from the harmful green house effect.

To preserve our environment we should plan more and more tree. Tree plantation programmed should be expanded to the remote corner of the country. The officers connected with this programmed should take proper steps and needful measures to make it success. Government should take necessary steps to make the people interested in planting trees.

Trees are part and parcel of our life. The necessity of trees and the importance of tree plantation cannot be ignored in any way. So it is our bounden duty to plant trees and take care of them.
