There are nearly 300 billion trees in the United States, according to the USDA Forest Service, all playing a critical role in our ecosystem and the wildlife across the country. Whether it’s a mighty coastal redwood or a historical pond cypress, each tree is a piece of our world that deserves to be treated with respect. Much of nature’s tree removal is done through invasive pests and wildfires, however, deforestation is the biggest threat.
States like Georgia, Alaska, and Alabama have seen the greatest loss of tree cover in the past 25 years, losing millions of hectares of trees. Wildfires have also run amok, especially in places like California, and invasive pests affect 15% of the nation’s forest cover annually. It is because of these threats that it is important to rely on professionals when it comes to tree removal. Hiring tree service experts will not only increase safety and convenience, but it will also reduce the overall cost, help with clean up, and be overall more effective than any DIY method. These professionals bring expertise to the table that can help limit excessive damage to the environment or one’s property, taking control of the entire process from start to finish.
