Trees are fascinating, known for their symbolic meanings.  They represent strength, growth, family, and most of all- life and all that that implies.
Strength is portrayed by the incredible ability they show by overcoming storms, wind and the forces of nature.  They are nature- itself, enduring the forces but giving back to nature at the same time.

"A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people. "
Franklin D. Roosevelt


 “Trees carry out process of respiration in which CO2 is utilized. That is, they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store the carbon in their roots, trunks, branches and leaves. Fifty percent of a tree by weight is carbon. Thus, if the number of trees is increased, more CO2 will be consumed and the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will reduce.”   WHAT THIS MEANS IS; “Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen so if the level of trees goes down the amount of carbon dioxide goes up. But if we have more trees they take the carbon dioxide and give us the oxygen.”  http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_trees_reduce_the_amount_of_Carbon_dioxide_in_the_atmosphere
