Tree Huggers News! 


Hollywood actress and green celebrity Daryl Hannah not the only person in America who loves trees -- 
 
Most humans live in somewhat close proximity to trees, and nearly all -- except hard core allergy sufferers -- consider keeping them alive very important to their quality of life. Recent polls released December 9, 2010 by The Nature Conservancy environmental organization shows that the American general public is well aware of the existence of invasive forest pests that kill trees. More over, everyday guy and girl next door green minded eco heroes are willing to take steps to protect trees from this threat. What that means is that America is ready to go green, albeit not quite as seriously as hippie tree hugger and green celebrity Daryl Hannah (famous for chaining herself to trees). However, having the general public get more interested in saving trees because of green celebrities who fight for environmental causes the way she has certainly has brought about a nice pop culture and sociological mix.

NATURE NEWS: TREE HUGGERS CULTIVATE GREEN EARTH ENVIRONMENT


The Nature Conservancy shares the following enlightening and bright green news details about their recent poll activity, sharing:

According to the poll, conducted in September, knowledge of the spread of forest pests such as the Asian longhorned beetle and emerald ash borer, and of diseases like sudden oak death and thousand cankers disease, has increased by 13 percent, from 41 percent in 2005 to 54 percent in 2010. When asked about the issue of forest pests in the most general terms, 93 percent of poll respondents expressed concern. This high level of concern has not changed since 2005, despite the changing economic situation.
The poll results show that 95 percent of Americans see trees as an important part of where they live and integral to their quality of life. Seventy-seven percent of respondents live near a wooded area, and 92 percent have trees on the property where they live. Americans also engage in a variety of activities that bring them in close contact with trees, with the top three activities being gardening (81%), birding or viewing wildlife (69%), and hiking (59%).
"The poll results tell us that the public's awareness of and concern about these invasive diseases and insects continue to increase, which is critical because it is usually citizens noticing something in their yard or nearby park that leads authorities to find new infestations of invasive bugs and diseases," said Sarah Volkman, communications coordinator for the Forest Health Program of The Nature Conservancy. "Additionally, we are very excited to see that Americans continue to feel very connected to trees, and are willing to take a number of actions to prevent the spread of these invasive pests."

In addition, poll respondents said they were willing to take a number of potential actions to reduce movement of forest pests:

• Buying plants and trees only from nurseries that are certified as free from diseases and insects that kill trees (92%)
• Not taking plants or cuttings from another location to bring back to their homes or gardens (88%)
• Cleaning boots carefully after hiking in a forest (87%)
• Not taking firewood with them when they camp (80%)
• Poll respondents also supported a number of suggested government actions to reduce introductions and spread of forest pests, with 82 percent in favor of policy measures that would limit trade with certain countries and 85 percent in support of government incentives for nurseries to adopt measures to prevent introduction and spread of pests.
