Solution

Though the poem was written many years ago when there was little importance given to ecology and environment yet it is relevant today also because it tells us that trees are an integral and important part of our ecological and economic growth and environmental well -being. In our times forests are being decimated for building houses, roads and bridges. Trees seem to attract none of our concern. But in the poem the poet draws our attention to the advantages of planting trees. He rightly says that one who plants trees, plants many things: beauty, peace, shade, harmony and good values.

He says that one who plants a tree:

      Who in the hollow of His hand
      Holds all the growth of all our land—
     A nation’s growth from sea to sea Stirs in his heart who plants a tree.
