Tree plantation paragraph

Until now we have worked on individual sentences about trees – I think that can be highly beneficial if you want to boost your vocab. But, sometimes longer form English is required, for example at school or college. This is a short paragraph – an example of how to do a short essay. Feel free to use this as inspiration for your own school assignments. Here is a tree plantation paragraph:

A tree plantation is a forest of trees, planted for a specific need. I will discuss now some of those needs. Sometimes, we make a tree plantation for the purpose of timber. If we want to make furniture, books, or houses then we need lots of trees. Another reason plantations exist is for the environment. If we grow many trees, then we can help clean the air and protect the ground from erosion too. Another use of plantations is at Christmas time! Around the world many people want to buy real Christmas trees, therefore we have many plantations around the world which grow these. One of the largest Christmas tree plantations in the world can be found in Oregon, USA. So, to summarize, three uses of plantations are for the creation of timber, for the benefit of the environment, and also for businesses, such as Christmas tree production. 

Paragraph on trees

Just like the above tree plantation paragraph, this is a longer form version of today’s sentences about trees. If you want to boost your vocab, I would suggest copying this out to help remember the verbs, prepositions, and adjectives. Here is a paragraph on trees:

Here I will discuss the benefits and uses of trees. The first benefit of trees is that they are great for the environment. They can clean the air and provide a habitat for wildlife. Also, I believe that trees have positive psychological benefits. I think that most people would agree that if they are surrounded by trees, instead of concrete and traffic, they feel calmer and more in tune with nature. Another benefit of trees is shade. In hot and dry places like Arizona, it is a good idea to plant trees in order to get shade. This can make that area cooler in the summer and also mean that we don’t need to use so much air conditioning. That’s fantastic for the environment! Although keeping trees is the best thing for the environment, we do need to harvest trees as well. Trees are used to make furniture, housing, books, and many other things. In my opinion, if we use trees sustainably, then it is no problem to use trees to make these things. We have to make sure we replace what we have taken, and be in balance with nature. If we do these things, we shouldn’t have any problems in the future.
