Excerpt from What Is Forestry: And What Does It Mean to the People of Michigan?
Trees beautify your home; a few good shade trees add $500 to the cash value of a town lot, and they add more than $500 to your home.
Trees beautify the highway. An avenue of large thrifty maple and elm trees add to the cash value of your farm and the farms of your neigh bors.
Trees shelter your buildings, your grounds and your stock against the summer's heat and the winter's wind.
