What is the tree worth? Money referred here in lakh. (Ten lakhs = One million)

Trees-windbreak in winter, cool in summer, home for birds.... and in our town, they will be cutting down a lot of ash trees to prevent the spread of ash borer. We have 4 ash trees around the house and I hope that they stay healthy.
Wonderful project that the young man started.

We here are difficulties with our cedars...3 neighbors have lost (including me) mature cedars..not quite sure what is happening but all have been removed just to be on the cautious side

HI, just read in our Sunday paper about folks that put seeds/plants in neglected areas...very often no one knows who did it..but all enjoy the sunflowers etc. instead of the bare spots where trash accumulated.

There is another group here newly formed that voluntarily plants saplings in open spaces by the roads. I think they are ensuring that there are no overhead powerlines above where they plant. I might become a member of it too soon as my friends are initiating it.
