There are hundreds of billions of trees across the United States, each playing a role in a complex ecosystem that supports wildlife and human populations in every region. The heaviest tree cover can be found in the Northeast, however, there are iconic species of tree, like the coastal redwood or the pond cypress, across the country. The current greatest threats to our forests are invasive species, wildfires and deforestation, all which have caused significant harm to the ecosystem in the past 25 years.
Studies have shown that invasive insects and plant diseases cause $40 billion in damages to plants annually, impacting 15% of the country’s forest cover. This imbalance is caused by a number of poor land management practices including unsustainable logging practices and fire suppression. Wildfires are also detrimental to our ecosystems, destroying billions of kilo hectares on an annual basis. Deforestation is the greatest threat of them all, removing millions of hectares of trees from our landscape annually, most recently in states like Georgia, Alaska and Alabama.
Because of these threats, it is more important than ever to rely on tree service professionals to take care of tree removal. These experts bring knowledge, safety, efficiency and cost-effectiveness to the table, ensuring that property, people, and wildlife are all taken care of in the process.
