Old trees in the living area become historic landmarks and source of town pride.
Trees help in deflecting sunlight thus reduces heat island effect and keep environment clean and cool.
Trees provide fresh oxygen and reduce air pollution by filtering harmful gases.
They help in water conservation by preventing water evaporation.
They prevent soil erosion and support wildlife.
Trees are useful source controlling climate by managing the effects of sun, rain and wind.

Prime Minister Imran Khan kicked off the drive on 2 September 2018 with approximately 1.5 million trees planted on the first day.
Why to Save Trees: Below I have mentioned some points proving why we should save trees: Trees always clean and refresh air by releasing oxygen and filtering particulate matter including dust, micro metal particles, pollutants, greenhouse gases (ozone, ammonia, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur dioxides), etc.
Trees reduce smog and air pollution from the environment.
They improve water quality, prevent water pollution, their root system reduces storm water runoff, prevent flooding and soil erosion.
Trees are good source of energy saving because they reduce the use of air-cooling system during summer season like electric fan, air conditioning, etc.
Well-landscaped yards and real estate have nice value because of having positive economic influence on real estate they speed up the sale of home.
According to the Human-Environment Research Lab, trees are very effective in reducing violence level in the neighborhood.
Four trees near by the home may save around 30% of the summer cooling costs whereas 1 million trees may save around $10 million energy costs per year.
Forty to fifty trees help in removing approximately 80 pounds of the air pollutants per year.
Trees have very less water requirement per year (400 trees need approximately 40,000 gallons of rainwater).
A tree throughout its life period of 50 years provides oxygen worth $31,250.
Trees around home boost its market value by 6 or 7% and add around 10% to a property’s value (according to the USDA Forest Service).
A healthy and mature tree may provide cooling effect equivalent to air conditioner cooling ten room size area (20 hours/day, according to the U.S. Department.
