Book Description

Excerpt from Common Trees of Ohio: A Handy Pocket Manual of the Common and Introduced Trees of Ohio There are many things so common in our daily lives that we accept them with little thought. So much a part of our existence they are that they become. Perhaps. Little known and often less appreciated. Trees run this risk. Shading us, protecting us. Purifying our water supply. Furnishing the homes that are built from them, providing the paper we use and serving us in thousands of ways. Trees deserve to be known and to be appreciated. Without them existence would be worth little. Our country is the greatest in the world. In wealth. In standards of living and in comforts it stands alone. Nature endowed it with boundless resources. We have taken this wealth and built a great nation. The trees in our forests have been our greatest resources: they have made possible what has been accomplished.
