There are nearly 300 billion trees in the United States, according to the USDA Forest Service. Although the highest concentration of trees can be found in the northeast regions, each tree across the nation plays a critical role in the ecosystem. From the mighty redwood to the historic oak tree, each species has its own set of characteristics that make it integral to the humans, wildlife and environment in the United States.
Currently, the greatest threat to trees in the U.S. is deforestation, destroying millions of hectares of tree-covered land each year. In the past 25 years, Alaska saw the most destruction, with 6.3 million hectares destroyed of its 154 million hectares of land. Invasive pests and disease are also a danger to American forests, impacting 15% of the country’s forest cover each year. Finally, wildfires burn millions of acres annually, with tens of thousands of acres burned in the recent Los Angeles wildfires alone.
Because the nation’s trees already face so many dangers, it is important to rely on trusted professionals for tree removal. These experts offer unmatched expertise, safety, cost-effectiveness and convenience, rivaling any DIY efforts and getting the job done right from start to finish.
