  • PREVENTS SOIL EROSION
    Soil erosion plays an important role in afforestation when a tree is planted in those areas it will be difficult to wash away the soil nutrients and when trees are planted in the areas where trees aren’t there it will help to keep the trees strong and it will be difficult for water to wash away the topsoil so it will be difficult for erosion to occur in that area when a tree is being planted in those place so plays an important role in soil erosion.

  • IT INCREASES THE SUPPLY OF TIMBER AND CHARCOAL
    This is also another important of afforestation planting tree has helped in the production of timber and charcoal and because once a tree is being planted it will provide jobs to many people, especially those who are involved in the production of timber and charcoal and because when there aren’t enough trees it will be difficult to get woods for roofing of house and making charcoal as well it always important to plants tree.

  • BY EDUCATING THOSE WHO USED THE TREES FOR MAKING WOODS AND CHARCOAL TO FIND OTHER MEANS

This is another way to help afforestation once we educate those who used the trees as their source of income to find other way or they should find a way to replace those trees they have cut and think this will help.
