How well this investment grows depends on the type of tree selected and the planting location, the care provided during planting, and the follow-up care after planting. Getting your new tree off to a healthy start will help the tree mature to its full size and ensures it will provide environmental, economic, and social benefits throughout its lifetime. Planting a tree is an easy task, but it takes more preparation and skill than you might think. Many people assume it's so easy that they overlook basic planting techniques, potentially setting their trees up for failure. All trees have needs, such as specific sunlight and water requirements. An improperly placed tree can grow into a home's foundation, while a tree planted too deep is susceptible to disease and poor health. So, before you go out an plant that maple tree underneath the power lines, consider the following tree-planting tips. The actual process of planting a young tree is not difficult or time consuming. but it must be done properly and with care. However, the success of planting will depend on choosing the right species for the site, and on providing an environment in which the young trees will thrive. With a little luck and good timing, sometimes simply sticking a tree in the ground and walking away can be enough for it to survive. But knowing how to plant a tree the right way, will ensure success every time. Trees have been described as the lungs of the earth for good reason. Without them, there would be no life on this planet. That's reason enough to plant as many as we can. But when you learn just how important they are for so many reasons, you begin to understand my passion for trees and why we need more. So whether this is your first tree planting, or you've planted a forest by now, we're always learning. Knowing how to plant a tree the right way especially now, considering such unprecedented climate conditions will ensure your efforts will not be in vain.

Book excerpt: A gorgeously packaged, very practical little book explains exactly how to plant and care for a tree and celebrates trees and their life-affirming presence in our lives. The earth's longest living organisms, trees exemplify nature's great strength as well as its majestic beauty. Serving as virtual lungs for our planet, trees provide us with food, medicine, and our most versatile building material. To plant a tree is to plant hope, and as an act of commemoration, it literally gives life to that remembered. While it is in-deed a practical book that explains exactly how to plant and care for a tree, HOW TO PLANT A TREE is so much more. Drawing on the ancient rituals and folklore that surround particular trees, the author explores their symbolism and traditional uses, and offers suggestions for various commemorative tree-planting acts, such as: A marriage ceremony; A new baby ceremony; A new home ceremony; A memorial for a loved one. With lovely original black-and-white illustrations throughout, HOW TO PLANT A TREE encompasses a wealth of both useful and inspiring information, including fascinating miscellany on some of our most beloved tree species like the willow, the oak, and the plum; how to calculate a tree's age; and how you can use trees to fight climate change. HOW TO PLANT A TREE will inspire readers to view trees as living structures of hope that will be treasured for generations to come.

Book excerpt: The real-life story of a family who planted 1,000,000 trees—yes, it’s true!—to fight deforestation in British Columbia. When Kristen Balouch was 10 years old, her parents made a surprising announcement: their whole family was going on a trip to plant trees! Kristen, her sisters, and her mom and dad—and their pet, Wonder Dog!—flew from their California home to a logging site in British Columbia. There, they joined a crew working to replant the trees that had been cut down. In One Million Trees, Kristen reflects on the forty days they spent living in a tent, covered in mud and bug bites, working hard every day to plant a new forest. Young readers will learn a little French, practice some math skills, and learn all about how to plant a tree the right way! The kid-friendly, engaging text is paired with bold illustrations, full of fun details and bright colors. The story ends with a modern-day look at what Kristen's family helped accomplish: a stand of huge trees growing on what used to be an empty, muddy patch of bare stumps. An author's note shares more information on deforestation, sustainable logging practices, and the irreplaceable environmental benefit of old growth forests. . . . Plus, the amazing things even a small group of people can do when they work together. A fun story with an important environmental message, One Million Trees is bound to inspire kids to get their hands dirty to make our planet healthy!
