MDC Starts New Campaign Focused on Our Trees and Forest
Trees Work. Trees work for your health. Trees work for your family. Trees work for your wallet. Trees work.
The Missouri Department of Conservation has a new educational campaign called Trees Work to increase awareness of the benefits our trees and forests provide. Many Missourians appreciate an oak releasing its tender spring leaves or a maple shading their deck without being aware of the real and valuable benefits those trees are providing for our health, our families, our wallets and our economy. The Trees Work campaign strikes a one, two punch by letting Missourians know all the ways trees and forests are working for them in their everyday lives and providing information on what the public can do about it-how they can promote good forestry management no matter how much land they own. 
Now, let's get Missouri's trees back on our radar screen. After all, Trees Work! Be watching for Trees Work activities and information in your area. Visit www.treeswork.org to learn more and get involved. And, help us spread the message that our trees and forests are more than pretty, static things . . . Trees Work!!!
