Video: how green activists in US are fighting to save 200-year-old tree from culling 

Green activists in the US are taking turns to sleep on a 200-year-old tree as local admin plans to cull it owing to new construction in the area.&nbsp;

With ropes, a harness, a hammock and a bucket pulley system, masked activists in Seattle have taken residence in the branches of an old, thick cedar tree to prevent it from being cut down.
The protest on a private lot is the latest episode highlighting tensions behind tree policy in Seattle as climate change increases temperatures and urban canopy decreases.
The Western red cedar, called the &ldquo;Luma,&rdquo; is about 80 feet tall, with two trunks that are each about 4 feet in diameter.
Its age is not known, but activists have estimated it could be as much as 200 years old. The Snoqualmie Indian Tribe is seeking to have the tree preserved for its archaeological significance, saying that Native Americans shaped its branches generations ago to distinguish it as a trail marker.
&ldquo;We have to win this tree. We have to win because Luma is setting the tone for every other tree that&rsquo;s under threat in Seattle,&rdquo; one said from the tree. &ldquo;We have to show that we mean business.&rdquo;
The occupation began July 14, with each activist taking shifts of several days in the tree.
The tree is on a development site where a single family home is being replaced with six housing units split between two parcels. After the city surveyed the site and proposal, it decided that the tree needed to be removed to accommodate the new housing.
The initial plans neighbours are citing were proposed before a full survey was done and were not accurate to show the expanse of the tree's roots, said Bryan Stevens, a spokesman for the Department of Construction and Inspections.
Stevens said the city can't revoke the removal permit.
The project is funded by Legacy Group Capital, which did not reply to an email from The Associated Press seeking comment.
It's unclear if the tree will be removed because new coordination between the landowner and the Washington Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation is needed, Stevens said.
The department did not immediately respond to an email Friday.
&ldquo;Our majestic trees, for the most part, are our very largest native trees. And they are the most valuable in terms of keeping the community healthy and preserving our ecosystem,&rdquo; said Sandy Shettler of the Last 6000, a group that aims to count and protect old trees.
Western red cedars can live up to 1,500 years in forests, according to the Washington Department of Natural Resources.

IFS officer shares video of trees practicing social distancing; take a look!

'Crown shyness' is a phenomenon where the topmost part of trees, called the crown, do not touch each other and form gaps. Have a look at the video.

Like humans, do trees also practise social distancing? Well, it seems so. Recently, IFS officer Ramesh Pandey&nbsp; shared a video on Twitter where the topmost part of trees, called the crown, are not touching each other and are seen forming gaps.&nbsp;
In his post, he mentioned that it&rsquo;s a kind of social distancing among trees and is called 'crown shyness'.&nbsp;
However, scientists don&rsquo;t have any clear explanation behind this phenomenon but as per expert theories, trees practise it to prevent collision and to limit the spread of parasites between the trees or as a shade avoidance so that the sunlight reaches all the branches.

Study suggests living in greener areas better for mental health

A study conducted by the ISGlobal centre suggests that living in greener places provides better mental health and lessens consumption of medicines.

There's no second opinion about the amazing benefits of greenery around us. And a recent study conducted by ISGlobal centre also suggests that living in greener places is linked to better mental health.
The study has also come up with a 3-30-300 green space thumb rule according to which everyone should be able to see at least 3 trees from their home, have 30% canopy tree covered in their nearby areas and not live 300 meters away from the nearest park or a green space.
The survey was done on 3,145 people aged between 15 and 95. It was found that people who follow the green space thumb rule have better mental health and lesser need of medication.

People from this place clothe trees during winters; visuals will melt your heart

Ever seen trees wearing cute sweaters? People from South Korea clothe trees during winters to protect them from pests and the visuals are heartwarming.&nbsp;

Many of us await winters to be able to get cozy in our winter layers and colourful sweaters. But.. but... but... have you ever seen trees wearing sweaters? No, right? Let us tell you that this does happen in South Korea's Seoul at a place called Jeongdong-gil.
People from a particular community follow this ritual of knitting colourful croatia sweaters over trees during winters for three months. Members gather around trees and knit sweaters over them.&nbsp;
The reason behind this is to protect trees against pests as the crocheted blankets prevent harmful bugs/insects from digging holes into the trees during the winter season.

If you are an instagram user, you must have seen the viral trend "We'll plant one tree for every pet pictures". Wondering what is it and who is planting those trees?
Well, the post was originally made by an insta account Plant A Tree Co. It however, hurriedly took it off, saying that it didn't have resources to keep its end of the deal. That is planting a tree for every pet picture.
Currently, there are over 4 million shares of the post, although Plant A Tree Co. deleted it within minutes of posting.
Seeing how the trend went viral, Plant A Tree Co. decided to start a fundraiser for &ldquo;Trees For The Future'' so they can plant the 4 million trees. According to their Instagram page, nearly $ 2 million has been raised.
But here's the catch. According to a Mashable report, Trees for the Future posted on their Instagram stories that they are not affiliated with Plant A Tree Co. and urged their followers to donate at their website instead of Plant A Tree Co.'s Instagram account.
This isn't the first time Plant A Tree Co. has come under fire for potentially scamming users on Instagram. According to reports, the company has previously been accused of trying to scam insta users by claiming to be promoting a cause.
So, long story short, your pet photos probably aren't planting any trees. But that should not stop you from posting those cute pics of your pets or planting trees. Keep them coming for the greater common good.

A tree is priceless, but a Supreme Court appointed committee has for the first time given a monetary valuation of a tree. According to the panel, a tree&rsquo;s monetary worth is its age multiplied by ₹74,500. The five-member committee of experts added that a heritage tree with a lifespan of well over 100 years could be valued at more than ₹1 crore. It has added that the monetary value of a project, for which hundreds of trees are cut, is sometimes far less than the economic and environmental worth of the felled trees. The committee was asked to determine the economic value of trees, based on cost of oxygen they release, and other benefits to the environment.
