Introduction
Many people in our community do not understand how planting and taking care of trees helps the environment. According to Alvey, (2006), trees contribute a lot in balancing the ecosystem and as habitats for various organisms. Therefore, I seek to create awareness on the importance of planting trees.
Problem
Many people are ignorant to plant, water or just take care of trees because they do not know how important it is. Individuals are eager to get tree product but do not care where they come from. (Bäckstrand & Lövbrand, 2006)
Objectives
1. Research and inform the Importance of planting and taking care of trees.
1. Find out the favorable types of trees to plant.
1. Discuss the various ways to take care of trees.
Resources
1. The local library in town.
1. The UMUC library.
1. The local forest offices around.
1. The internet.
Solution
This proposal will help create awareness on how to plant and take care of trees and the benefits of planting trees. In addition, it aims at making tree seedlings available and easy to access by coming up with tree nurseries. Planting trees and taking good care of them helps to initiate positive climate change and restore forests in landscapes. Mansourian, Vallauri & Dudley (2005)
Method
I shall do an in-person research at the local library and research via the web at the university library. Visiting the Local Forests Offices in town will also help me get additional relevant and first-hand information. Giving out questionnaires and interviewing neighbors and people around the community can help find efficient ways to plant and take care of the trees.
