These words may not be quite as appealing as those of Joyce Kilmer in his beautiful poem "TREES", but they do express a truth. It has been said that water is the most efficient soil mover known to man. Soil movement is eroson. It might well be said that trees offer the best protection against soil erosion known to man. In fact.it could be said that trees are the best soil builders known to man. Trees interrupt and prevent large amounts of rain water from ever hitting the ground. Tree litter, rotten wood and leaves, soak up large amounts of water and allow it to enter the soil slowly. Soil under this litter is awork with many small insects and animals such that the soil is never hard and crusty, but always crumbly and soft. Tree roots go deep into the soil and upon decay leave thousands of channels for water to go deep into the ground. Tree roots form a fine durable network of fibers that latch the soil particles in place. Trees modify extremes in temperature. They keep the soil moist and cool in summer and moist and warm in winter. This is good for all kinds of biological activity and most wildlife. No one has ever measured any overland flow of water from the surface of a virgin forest. If you are wondering how to hold a piece of land together or you want to know that your own is completely protected and is being continually Improved - why not consider trees. The environment will be improved and you very well could realize a profit. For more details as they apply to your land contact your District Conservationist whose office is in the Federal Building in Raeford. His phone number is 875-3627.
