Why Would Anyone Cut a Tree Down?

In taking care of forests, towns, or backyards, it is sometimes necessary and even helpful to cut trees down. This book is meant to introduce everyone from elementary students to adults to different reasons that foresters and arborists might cut trees down. Sometimes a tree needs to come down because people did not care for it properly. So, the back of this book includes some basics of tree care and places to get more information. I hope this book helps you see that, in caring for forests and trees and meeting people’s needs, cutting a tree down is not always a bad thing...—Roberta Burzynski
