  4. They built our homes, our bridges, our wagons, our boats, our paper, and pencils.
  5. Trees keep us warm.
  6. They let us bring them inside and decorate them.
  7. Trees clean our air.
  8. They are home and food for wildlife.
  9. They provide food for us.
  10. Trees are beautiful to look at.
  11. They give us shade.
  12. We picnic under them, or read books, or take a nap.
  13. People have carved hearts in their bark.
