Source: FlickrThe digital or ‘paperless’ age often feels like there is little to show for the passing of time. Because of this, many Americans have chosen to start marking important events with something tangible by planting a tree. For decades to come, the tree will serve as a reminder of the important event.
Tree planting has become a popular way to celebrate weddings and births. Children respond very positively to see ‘their’ tree grow, in much the same way proud parents mark how tall their children are at each birthday. It also helps to make your home feel that much more like yours.
These arboreal markers aren't limited to your home. Many cities are planting trees due to their importance to air quality, natural erosion control, and even traffic calming. In some cities, local families adopt trees planted in public spaces in their neighborhood. So even if your family moves, you can still visit your special tree.
