Out of the mouths of...trees?

Ever wonder what the world would look like without trees?  Ever wonder what the world would be like without trees? They add value to your home, regulate the temperature of your neighborhood, provide food for wildlife, tame stormwater and provide a visual wealth in their simplicity and of flowering things. In honor of all that is celebrated about trees in April some notable quotes less you take trees for granted:
